Start with an eggnog base by whisking 4 egg yolks and 1/4 cup muscovado sugar, add 2 cups of whole milk, 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. 2. Whip egg whites until they make soft peaks. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Fold into yolk mixture. 3. Mix 3/4 bottle of your favorite strong holiday ale with a shot of your favorite booze (rum is fine for us) and top with 6 oz. of the eggnog. If all that is too much work just have the shot with the beer. ================ "You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning." Clay and Jay See you next month!e with nearly 4,00 |
