I wanted to get this to you early so you can enjoy it at pre-holiday parties as well as on Christmas itself.

24 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 liter Maker’s Mark bourbon
1 quart heavy whipping cream
1 quart milk
Freshly ground nutmeg for garnish

Separate the eggs and beat the yolks until creamy; whip the sugar into the yolks. Beat egg whites until they stand in peaks, adding 1/2 cup additional sugar, if needed. Beat yolks and bourbon together and fold in whites. Beat cream and add with milk.

Serve in eggnog cups and add nutmeg for garnish.

Yield: 1 punch bowl full.
