Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Whisk egg yolks and sugar

In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until smooth and light in color.

2
Heat milk and cream

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until steaming hot but not boiling.

3
Temper egg mixture

Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.

4
Cook the eggnog

Return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.

5
Strain and cool

Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Stir in the nutmeg. Let cool to room temperature.

6
Add bourbon and chill

Whisk in the bourbon. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight.

7
Serve the cocktail

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. Pour in the chilled eggnog and shake until frothy. Divide among glasses, garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg if desired, and serve.
