New Orleans Creole Eggnog 

SUBMITTED BY: AUNTIESGRISGRIS 
This eggnog is great for a crowd during the holiday season. It's very rich so 
a little goes a long way. Usually, 4 to 6 ounces per person is enough for a 
serving. The best part is that you can alter the liquors you like or make it 
without any liquor, too. Use brandy, or substitute Calvados, Cognac, 
Frangelico, Godiva, or Praline. Have a 4 gallon bowl or container handy to mix 
the eggnog, and plan to make this 30 days before your party so it seasons well.

PREP TIME 30 Min 
READY IN 30 Days 30 Min 

SERVINGS  SCALING
Original recipe yield: 48 servings


INGREDIENTS
30 eggs 
1 cup white sugar 
1 cup light brown sugar 
1 cup dark brown sugar 
1 tablespoon allspice 
1 teaspoon ground mace 
1 teaspoon ground ginger 
1 teaspoon ground cloves 
1 tablespoon freshly ground nutmeg 
1 tablespoon freshly ground cinnamon stick 
1/2 cup pure vanilla extract 
1 teaspoon Angostura bitters 
1 cup bourbon or blended whiskey 
1 (750 milliliter) bottle dark rum 
1 (750 milliliter) bottle almond-flavored liqueur, such as Amaretto 
1 (750 milliliter) bottle brandy 
6 quarts heavy cream 
DIRECTIONS
Beat the eggs with the white sugar, and light and dark brown sugars in a stand 
mixer until completely blended. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve 
into a bowl. Stir in the allspice, mace, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and 
vanilla. 
Pour the bitters, bourbon, rum, almond-flavored liqueur, and brandy into a 
large, 4 gallon bowl or food safe bucket. Stir in the egg mixture until 
thoroughly blended. Pour in the heavy cream and continue stirring. Divide into 
smaller containers and refrigerate. Shake or stir the containers 2 to 4 times 
each day for 30 days. 
Editor's Note
While the high amount of alcohol in this recipe will counteract any possible 
bacteria from the eggs, if making this recipe with less alcohol, you may want 
to consume within the week. If you are concerned about the safety of consuming 
raw egg, use an equivalent amount of pasteurized egg which can be found in 
cartons in most grocery stores near the eggs. 30 eggs would be equal to 7 1/2 
cups.
