Twelve eggs, 1½ pints best whiskey, 3 gills best rum (Cognac brandy, fair substitute), 1 well rounded tablespoon granulated sugar to each egg, 1 quart of milk or cream, beat the yolks light, add sugar and beat light, add whiskey, rum, milk, beat light, put in whites beaten to a froth. This recipe is fairly mild. For men increase liquor to 1 quart of whiskey, 1 pint of rum. One drop of oil of cinnamon improves this for some people. Never add liquor after cream or milk; this will ruin your eggnog.
