Recipe
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/3 cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
- 1 pint whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 ounces bourbon
- 1 tbsp freshly grated nutmeg

Beat yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually add the 1/3 cup sugar and continue to beat until it is completely dissolved. Add the milk, cream, bourbon and nutmeg and stir to combine.
Beat egg whites to soft peaks. With the mixer still running gradually add the 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
Whisk the egg whites into the mixture. Chill and serve with grated nutmeg. Yields 6-7 cups.
Notes

I also noticed that other recipes have significantly more booze in it, so I adjusted based on taste. We probably used a bit more than three ounces, but nowhere near what other recipes call for.
I found some notes on aging eggnog, and we decided to try it for two days and compare with a fresh batch. However, we aged a batch that already contained egg whites, which may throw off our experiment.
