I have made this several times and I think the ingredients are perfect.

I agree with some other reviewers that I don't really like the egg whites just floating on top, so I modified the method. I add the 4 whole eggs to the blender and turn it on low, then slowly add in all of the sugar, then slowly the cream and finally the milk and nutmeg. It still is frothy, but much more cohesive than whipping the egg whites separately and folding in.

This is such a festive, delicious drink! I love it! Alton Brown has done it again!

This recipe is very frothy and thick, almost like an eggnog latte or something, it had such a head of foam. I like it, but it was so frothy that we almost drank it too quickly! Next time, I think I will either skip beating the whites into a foam, or only beat one or two of them, because I like my nog a little more liquidy. If you like it frothy and thick, though, this is the way to go!

Also, a good bourbon makes all the difference. In the episode, he uses Maker's Mark, and that's what I used, but you could probably go with something a little cheaper since you won't be drinking it straight. Avoid the very cheap stuff though, I made the mistake of having a friend get me some bourbon from the store for this recipe years ago, and she purchased a terrible cheap one that ruined the whole batch, I made it into ice cream just to dull the taste.

Amazing recipe!

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!! So easy and tastes great!! I've made homemade eggnog before but nothing I have previously made compares to this! I make this for every new years party and have always had rave reviews. I even made eggnog pancakes with this and pored some more eggnog on top instead of using syrup and it was awesome!

It was really nice, but in my opinion, a little too much nutmeg.

First I love eggnog I've had the store version of eggnog with alcohol and your standard yellow stuff. Second, I did not see the episode, so all I had to go on was the recipe. The only alteration i made to the cooked version was that I didn't have fresh nutmeg, so i was stuck with using ground nutmeg from the pantry.
There are two main issues i had with this recipe: What type of bourbon to use and how much of the egg whites to fold in. I ended up with what tasted like a real foamy (think cheap shake, woody tasting drink with no real egg taste, not nice thick nog.
I served it up a few minutes after folding in the egg whites and everyone agreed that there was just something missing.

The next day, the foam had floated to the top. The liquid underneath was much better than the day before.

Did Alton say to let it sit for while before serving and give hints of the type of bourbon?

Next time i make it, I'm going to add some vanilla, maybe use rum instead.

I never have had real eggnog before, and I will never buy it from the store again. Really easy and fast to make.

This recipe is great!,!!!!!! I used Meyers rum which has a stronger flavor. I prefer it over the spiced rums. This recipe is easy, foolproof and oh sooo delicious!
