This Spiked Eggnog is a decadent holiday punch with a light, frothy texture and a bold, boozy kick from bourbon and brandy. Made with creamy whipped egg whites, thickened egg yolks, and a sprinkle of nutmeg, this eggnog has a luxurious look and flavor that’s both smooth and festive. Serve it chilled for the ultimate holiday indulgence.
Instructions
Prepare the Egg Yolks:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is thick and pale lemon-colored.
Add Bourbon and Brandy:
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the bourbon and brandy to the yolk mixture. Continue to beat until fully combined and smooth. Cover and refrigerate for several hours to allow the flavors to blend.
Whip Egg Whites:
- In a separate, clean bowl, add salt to the egg whites and beat until they hold stiff, glossy peaks. This will add a light, airy texture to the eggnog.
Whip the Cream:
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Combine and Fold:
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites and whipped cream into the chilled egg yolk and liquor mixture. Stir until just combined, creating a light and frothy texture.
Serve and Garnish:
- Pour into glasses or punch cups and garnish each serving with a dusting of ground nutmeg for a festive finish.
Notes
This Spiked Eggnog is thick and velvety with a pale yellow color and a frothy top layer.

For best results, serve the eggnog well-chilled, and be sure to stir before serving if it has been sitting for a while.
