Ingredients

Directions

  1. Carefully separate the eggs, placing the yolks in a large mixing bowl and the whites in a separate clean, dry bowl.
  2. Using a whisk or electric mixer, beat the egg yolks until they are pale yellow and creamy in texture.
  3. Gradually add the sugar to the egg yolks, beating continuously until the mixture is thick, pale, and well combined.
  4. Slowly pour in the whiskey, about two tablespoons at a time, beating vigorously between each addition to ensure it emulsifies properly.
  5. In the separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form very stiff peaks.
  6. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk and whiskey mixture using a spatula, taking care to maintain the airiness.
  7. In another clean bowl, whip the cream until it forms very stiff peaks.
  8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture until just combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and the drink to chill thoroughly.
