Add Bourbon:
- Slowly pour the Maker’s Mark bourbon into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to create a smooth blend.
Whip Egg Whites:
- In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. If desired, add an additional ½ cup of sugar to stabilize the peaks and add sweetness.
Whip the Cream:
- In another bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Combine Ingredients:
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk and bourbon mixture. Then, fold in the whipped cream, creating a frothy, airy texture.
Add Milk and Stir:
- Gradually add the milk, stirring until everything is well combined.
Chill and Serve:
- Cover the eggnog and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. Pour into punch cups or glasses, and sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg.
