Egg Nog Recipe

Were big nog junkies round these parts, so weve tried many different recipes over the years. This one from legendary barman jeffrey morgenthaler is our favorite delicious, complex, but not too fussy to make. This recipe makes about 4-6 servings, and is perfect for scaling up. Once mixed up, you neednt drink it all right away. In fact, itll get even better the longer you leave it in the refrigerator, up to at least a month and perhaps longer The amount of alcohol in the recipe is more than enough to kill off any bacterial baddies that might hitch a ride in on the eggs. Unlike many recipes, morgethalers eggnog doesnt call for nutmeg in the mix. It has a tendency to settle to the bottom of the vessel, and doesnt really add much to the flavor of the drink (nutmeg is meant to be smelled more than tasted). Instead of putting it in the blender with the rest of the ingredients, save it and instead grate it over each drink as you serve it.
