It's nearly 6 a.m. on Christmas Eve... Is Anyone Drinking Yet?

OK, all of the children and grandchildren are here now. The drinking lamp is definitely lit for Grandpa! Quality handcrafted ales only until nightfall. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) (this smile doesn't look fake, does it?) :D
 
I was up until about 2:00 wrapping gifts.

Fired up the espresso machine now and I'll have three of those. No drinking until maybe 7:00 p.m. I need to slow down or I’m heading for liver trouble.
 
I'm going to try this tonight:

Egg Nog

12 eggs (separated)
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup dark brown sugar
1 cups heavy cream
2 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp orange extract
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup bourbon or whiskey
1 cup dark rum

Whisk eggs yolks in a large bowl. Add sugars, and whisk brutally until the sugars are fully incorporated.

Add extracts and spices. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Add cream and milk.

Strain the mixture through a fine screen into an air tight refrigerator container.

Add the liqueurs and stir. Put into refrigerator to chill.

Age for several days. It gets better with time!

It's dangerous, fattening, and bad for your heart. Enjoy!
