BEST EGGNOG LIQUEUR RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl beat egg yolks with an electric mixer or whisk until they become light in color, about 2-3 minutes.
• Slowly pour sugar into the bowl with the egg yolks as you beat it on low. Continue to mix until fully incorporated.
• Stir in half & half and pour into a pitcher. Chill until ready to serve.
• Serve with your favorite toppings and mixins (whipped cream, nutmeg, ground cinnamon, cinnamon sticks, caramel syrup, peppermint syrup, or serve with alcohol on the side. We like dark rum but you can serve with your choice of beverages. Fireball whiskey is amazing).

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over low heat, combine milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla and slowly bring mixture to a low boil. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar until yolks are pale in color. Slowly add hot milk mixture to egg yolks in batches to temper the eggs and whisk until combined. Return mixture to saucepan and cook over medium heat until slightly thick (and coats the back of a spoon) but does not boil. (If using a candy thermometer, mixture should reach 160º.) Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream and, if using, bourbon. Refrigerate until chilled. When ready to serve, garnish with whipped cream and cinnamon.
