Jack Daniels Very Merry Eggnog Recipes

JACK DANIEL'S® VERY MERRY EGGNOG

Steps:

• Mix sugar, rum, bourbon, brandy, salt, vanilla extract, and nutmeg in a blender on medium speed until combined. Transfer liquor mixture to a large bowl.
• Mix half-and-half, cream, and eggs in the blender on low speed until combined. Stir egg-cream mixture into the liquor mixture.
• Ladle eggnog mixture into the blender in batches; blend on low speed. Transfer blended eggnog to a punch bowl or pitcher. Refrigerate until cold, 1 to 2 hours.

OVERNIGHT EGGNOG

Steps:

• Combine milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and cloves in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring every so often, until spices become one with the milk, 3 to 5 minutes. Be sure to stir from the bottom of the pot so the milk doesn't burn.
• Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks and cane sugar together in a large mixing bowl until pale yellow, thick, and smooth.
• Remove milk mixture from the stove. Pour some of the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking quickly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Continue, pouring a little bit at a time and whisking, until all has been added.
• Pour the mixture back into the pot and place over medium heat. Stir constantly with a spatula until eggnog thickens and becomes light beige in color, about 5 minutes; it should leave a slight film on the spatula. Remove from the heat.
• Pour whipping cream and nutmeg into a pitcher. Pour eggnog mixture into the whipping cream and mix with the spatula to combine. Place in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight for best enjoyment. Stir before serving.
