Ingredients
- 9 oz bourbon
- 3 oz amaretto
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 6 eggs, separated into yolks and whites
- 1/3 cup salted bourbon butterscotch sauce
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, salted bourbon butterscotch sauce, and salt until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the whole milk, heavy whipping cream, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla to the bowl, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, using a standing mixer or a hand mixer, whip the egg whites with 1/4 cup of sugar until soft peaks form, which should take approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cream mixture until the mixture is smooth and evenly incorporated.
- Chill the eggnog until it is cold, then serve in a punch bowl with the bourbon and amaretto mixed in. Alternatively, pour the eggnog into individual glasses and add 0.75 oz of bourbon and 0.25 oz of amaretto to each glass. Finish by topping with a sprinkle of grated nutmeg.
