Instructions
- 1 Add brandy, sherry, rum, and whiskey to a bowl; set aside.
- 2 Place egg yolks and egg whites into two separate, large bowls; set egg whites aside. Beat egg yolks with an electric mixer until light and frothy; gradually beat in sugar until light colored. Slowly beat in brandy mixture; beat in milk and heavy cream, with the mixer running, until thoroughly blended. Beat egg whites using a clean beater until soft peaks form; gently fold into milk mixture.
- 3 Pour eggnog into two clean, gallon-sized plastic milk containers. Refrigerate 5 to 10 days (10 for a smoother taste). Shake containers occasionally to keep alcohol from separating.
- 4 Pour eggnog into a punch bowl; whisk to blend. Add vanilla ice cream; garnish with nutmeg.
