I hope you know how to separate eggs, because it isn't a New Years party if you don't wiggle around some yolks in the sake of alcoholism! If you have a friend able to commit to such a deed then consider your sobriety to be forfeit. Two dozen eggs must be settled and separated into two bowls.

From where beat the yolks until they take on a creamy texture, whipping all the sugar into them to make a sort of gross gelatinous mass. If you prefer your eggnog to be a little sweeter then you can add up to another cup of sugar, but be extremely delicate about such things. Too much sugar can cause your Nog experience to be a total disaster. After this add the rather curious, very nontraditional, but entirely delicious Maker's Mark. 1 liter of the substance will please most party guests and be perfectly suitable for feminine consumption. But if you are of the more masculine persuasion then I see no problem with adding as much as 1.5 liters. Go for broke at your own risk!

Meanwhile you should have a stalwart companion whipping those whites into frothy peaks. Hopefully you have some sort of food processor or this will take a very long time! Add these to your yolks and alcohol.

Beat your cream and then slowly add that and the milk to the rest of the concoction. This will make 2 and 1/2 gallons of material so hopefully you have a vat of equivalent size, and a suitable amount of people to drink it. Garnish with nutmeg and dig in!

Happy New Years!
