Bourbon Eggnog



Crafty Christmas is the goal but how did I get here? First of all I got a little email from Bill Samuels, the president of Makers Mark Distillery, telling me to check out the TV show Good Eats because Alton Brown (whom we've met) was going to visit the distillery and film an episode on how to make a traditional eggnog with Kentucky Bourbon. We'll be dressing our batches up in mason jars and handing them out as holiday treats. This nog is missing all the chemicals and preservatives and other manufactured ingredients. In particular, it is especially less sweet and much thicker than the grocery store versions.

"Maker's Mark Eggnog."

1 liter Maker's Mark
1 quart milk
1 quart heavy cream
2 dozen eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
nutmeg for garnish

Separate eggs and beat yolks until creamy. Whip sugar into yolks. Beat whites until they stand in peaks, adding 1/2 cup additional sugar, if desired. Beat yolks and Maker's Mark together, add whites. Beat cream. Add cream and milk to mixture. Add nutmeg to taste and garnish each cup with nutmeg. Makes 2 1/2 gallons.

How about some fine eggnog french toast, which makes for some good vittles?

Egg-sellent Idea! I will certainly give that a try!
