Beat 6 egg yolks until light yellow; stir into alcohol mixture, cover and chill for at least two hours. Whip 3 cups heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold into alcohol mixture. Stir in whole milk until desired consistency is reached. Pour into glasses, garnish with freshly grated nutmeg. Best eggnog recipe I’ve found:
