Creamy Eggnog Recipe
Holiday Egg Nog Recipe. This preparation can be a bit tricky because you have to work carefully when folding in the egg whites. Where kid gloves here and use proper technique or you'll loose all the air you've whip into the whites and the eggnog won't have the proper consistency or volume. Also, don't be afraid with the alcohol measurements here. It packs a wallop if you drink it to fast, but the dairy really mellows out the strength of the liquor. It has nice balance.
