Directions
-
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, and 1/3 cup of sugar until well combined.
-
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula.
-
Continue stirring until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a metal spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately.
-
To stop the cooking process, place the saucepan in a bowl of ice water and stir for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is cool to the touch.
-
Stir in the light rum, bourbon, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
-
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours, to allow flavors to meld.
-
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the whipping cream and 2 tablespoons of sugar until soft peaks form.
-
Transfer the chilled eggnog base to a large punch bowl or serving pitcher.
-
Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the eggnog base until just combined.
-
Serve immediately, sprinkling each glass with freshly ground nutmeg.
