• 2 cups whole milk
• 3 cups heavy cream, plus whipped cream
• ½ cup bourbon
• ¼ cup dark rum
• ¼ cup Cognac
• Freshly grated nutmeg, for sprinkling

Beat yolks in a very large bowl until thick and pale. Slowly beat in sugar.
2. Add milk and cream:
Whisk in milk and 2 cups cream.
3. Add alcohol:
Mix in bourbon, rum, and Cognac. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
4. Serve:
Just before serving, beat whites until stiff peaks form. Fold whites into eggnog. Whisk remaining 1 cup cream until stiff peaks form, and fold into eggnog. (Alternatively, you can fold half the whipped cream into eggnog, and top with remaining half.) Sprinkle with nutmeg.
