Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

6 large egg yolks, plus 2 large whites
3/4 cup sugar
3 cups whole milk
Large pinch of coarse salt
10 black peppercorns
2 crushed cardamom pods
2 allspice berries
1 clove
2 one-inch-long, 1/4-inch-thick slices fresh ginger
2 tablespoons freshly grated orange zest, plus more for topping
1 cup heavy cream
2 ounces bourbon, such as Michter's or Maker's Mark
2 ounces dark rum, such as Appleton Estate
1 ounce cognac
Unsweetened freshly whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar until pale yellow and thick, about 2 minutes. In a medium saucepan, bring milk and salt to a bare simmer. Whisking constantly, slowly pour hot milk mixture into yolk mixture.
Pour yolk mixture back into saucepan. Add peppercorns, cardamom, allspice, clove, ginger, and orange zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is just thick enough to coat back of spoon and hold a line drawn by your finger, 3 to 5 minutes.
Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard solids. Let cool, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Add cream, bourbon, rum, and cognac; cover and refrigerate overnight.
Whisk remaining 1/4 cup sugar and egg whites in a heatproof mixer bowl set over (not in) a pan of simmering water. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and mixture is warm (it should feel smooth between your fingers), 2 to 3 minutes. (For fully cooked eggs, a thermometer inserted into meringue should register 160 degrees.) Remove from heat. With a mixer on high speed, beat until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Fold into eggnog.
Pour into glasses (or a punch bowl); top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with orange zest.

Time 20m

Yield 20-25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

6 eggs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 quarts chilled orange juice
1/2 cup lemon juice (frozen, fresh, or canned)
1 quart vanilla ice cream
1 quart chilled ginger ale
nutmeg

Steps:

Beat eggs until light colored.
stir in sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves.
Stir in orange and lemon juices.
Cut ice cream into small cubes into punch bowl.
Pour in juice mixture and ginger ale.
Sprinkle with nutmeg.

Tips:

Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges will give your eggnog the best flavor. If you can't find fresh oranges, you can use orange juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
Grate the orange zest. Grating the orange zest will release the essential oils, which will give your eggnog a more pronounced orange flavor.
Use whole milk or cream. Whole milk or cream will give your eggnog a richer flavor and texture. If you use skim milk, your eggnog will be thinner and less flavorful.
Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating the eggs will make your eggnog curdled. Beat the eggs just until they are combined with the other ingredients.
Chill the eggnog before serving. Chilling the eggnog will allow the flavors to meld and will make it more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Orange eggnog is a delicious and festive holiday drink. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're hosting a holiday party or just looking for a special treat, orange eggnog is sure to be a hit.
