This recipe is supposedly one found in George's notes at Mt. Vernon:

>One quart cream, one quart milk, one dozen tablespoons sugar, one pint brandy, ½ pint rye whiskey, ½ pint Jamaica rum, ¼ pint sherry—mix liquor first, then separate yolks and whites of 12 eggs, add sugar to beaten yolks, mix well. Add milk and cream, slowly beating. Beat whites of eggs until stiff and fold slowly into mixture. Let set in cool place for several days. Taste frequently.”

This is an "aged" eggnog, which isn't cooked using heat, but using alcohol over time. Lots of alcohol. I followed this recipe exactly using:
-Christian Brothers brandy (cheapy shit to test with)
-Jack Daniel's instead of rye
-Captain Morgans
-Generic sherry

Tossed it in the fridge and have been "tasting frequently", and it's excellent, despite having fucked up folding the whites in.

Give it a shot.

I fucked up prepping the egg whites and didn't beat them hard enough, and this is what I believe is responsible for the lumpy surface, as that's meringue that hasn't yet blended into the mixture.

George makes no mention of nutmeg or spice, so that's why I made it that way. It's very rich, boozy, and not overly sweet, with a creamy texture.

This stuff is delicious. It's slowly turning richer and creamier every day, and George was right in that it's best if you "taste often".

To get this to taste more like George's recipe, make sure to use heavy cream, whole milk, and the following spirits:

Christian Brothers Sacred Bond Copper Pot-Still Bottled-in-Bond Brandy 100 proof
>spirts were bottled at a higher proof back then, so this version of Christian Brothers will be more authentic.

Old Overholt Bonded Straight Rye Whiskey 100 proof
>This is a "Maryland-Style" rye, which means there's corn included in the mash bill, how George would have made it. Also higher proof.

Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum 126 proof
>This is a traditional, aromatic, Jamaican rum. This is the only type of rum George would have known. Light flavor, Spanish-style, column distilled rums, like Barcardi, did not exist back then. Also overproof.

Lustau Solera Reserva Pedro Ximénez San Emilio
>This sherry is rich in flavor and sweet. Should work well with the other high-proof spirits.

These spirits should improve the recipe immensley, and none of them will break the bank. Also, grating a liberal amount of fresh nutmeg over each individual drink is never a bad thing.

You can also make this as an individual drink. It won’t have have the same aging qualities as letting it sit for a bit, but it will still be good.

Chill a 7 oz goblet (or something similar)

Into a 28 oz metal shaking tin, add:

1 whole egg
1 oz heavy cream
2 teaspoons superfine sugar (not powdered)*

3/4 oz Christian Brothers Sacred Bond Copper Pot-Still Bottled-in-Bond Brandy 100 proof

1/2 oz Old Overholt Bonded Straight Rye Whiskey 100 proof

1/2 oz Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum 126 proof

1/4 oz Lustau Solera Reserva Pedro Ximénez San Emilio

Cap the shaker and dry shake (without ice) to emulsify ingredients.

Fill 3/4 full with ice, re-cap shaker and shake very hard for at least 10 seconds to chill-dilute and aerate.

Fine strain into chilled goblet

Garnish with a liberal amount of fresh grated nutmeg and a small sprinkling of mace.

*If drink isn’t quite sweet enough, add a full tablespoon of sugar.

Alright, same recipe, but this time I'm trying 3 approaches.

1st, is the standard recipe but with stiff egg peaks using a whisk instead of my ghetto masher.

2nd is the same except I'm going to beat the cream to create whipped cream and mix it with the stiff peaks from the egg whites.

3rd is a simplified version where the eggs are simply beaten together, rather than separated.

This is pointless. The protein of the egg whites will kill the fat foam of the whipped cream.
