(Originally published 12/1/23)
12 Large eggs
1 Pound sugar
1 Teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 Pint half-and-half
1 Pint whole milk
1 Pint heavy cream
1 Cup rum (we used a blend of Plantation O.F.T.D. and Wray & Nephew)
1 Cup apple brandy (we used Laird’s)
1 Cup bourbon (we used 100 Proof Old Forester)
1/4 Teaspoon Kosher salt
Separate the eggs and store the whites for another application if desired.
Beat the yolks with the sugar and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl until the mixture lightens in color and falls off the whisk in a solid ribbon.
Combine dairy, rum, brandy, bourbon, and salt in a second bowl or pitcher and then slowly beat into the egg mixture.
Move to a large glass jar (or a couple of smaller ones) and store in the fridge for a minimum of 2 weeks, although you can drink it right away if you can’t wait!
Serve in mugs or cups topped with a little extra nutmeg grated on top.
