Instructions
Prepare Egg Yolks:

Notes
This Egg Nog has a creamy, luxurious look with a slightly frothy top, thanks to the whipped egg whites. The dark rum adds a rich, warming flavor, while the apricot brandy gives a delicate hint of fruitiness that pairs beautifully with the cream. Serve it chilled in punch cups or glasses, and top each with a sprinkle of nutmeg to add a touch of spice and fragrance. Perfect for holiday gatherings or cozy evenings in.
