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