This was just awful, and I love eggnog. I followed the (cooked version recipe to the letter, but the bottom line was that there was TOO MUCH liquor in this for it to be good and the egg whites added nothing to the drink and actually made for kind of a funky texture. It actually made me gag, and I am by no means averse to taste of liquor!

I will say that the mixture BEFORE I added the whites and liquor was very good, and I would make this again - without the whites and with just a splash of bourbon for flavor.

Sorry Alton, I have loved every other recipe of yours that I've ever tried, but this one just does not do it for me.

Much lighter and better than store bought eggnog. Will definitely make again.

I had never had anything but store bought eggnog, this is better by far. I made the uncooked version and it was extremely simple to make. I did make one change, since we don't drink alcoholic beverages, I left out the bourbon.

I have never been a fan of eggnog, but wanted something special for my annual After-Christmas Dinner with friends this year. After making my own, it's no wonder why I never liked the store-bought stuff! DON'T be scared of the uncooked version - it was amazing and so simple! We doubled the whole recipe, substituting 1/2 cup liquor for 1/2 cup of the milk (1/4 cup bourbon, 1/4 cup spiced rum. The result was thick and delicious! I bet the 1/2 cup of milk could remain for a thinner version, though. If you LOVE nutmeg like I do, then add twice as much - freshly grated whole nutmeg, of course. We even set it out so our guests could grate some on top of their own cup of nog - it went fast! We will be making more to enjoy this New Year's eve!

I used the recipe but substituted a few ingredients to make feel less guilty. I used fatfree haf&half and the used half the sugar -- I substituted sugar with splenda. Also, the nutmeg was very overwhelming. Next time I'll use 1/4 of the amount. The egg yolk and white do not need to be separated since the eggnog does not need the foam on top. All together a nice recipe with few mods.

I have never liked eggnog but I've only had store bought. I made this for my father, the occasional nog drinker seasonally. It was so good we both had to make 2 batches (he had to help me temper the eggs, I'm not good enough to stand alone. It was a great bonding experience and super delicious. I substituted a tablespoon of vanilla for alcohol in mine.

I made the cooked version of this recipe last night. It was delicious! There was a little leftover for brunch today. We used rum instead of bourbon but might try it with bourbon on New Year's Eve.

I made the uncooked version tonight for a family Christmas party and everyone loved it! I was nervous after reading people's reviews about the egg whites so I made a test batch before everyone arrived and was relieved when it turned out so well (with the egg whites. I also thought about leaving out the bourbon because several of us don't really drink that much but it actually tastes much better with it. Thanks, Alton!

I used a pint of heavy cream and a cup of whole milk. I like it thicker.
