Stir in the bourbon, rum, milk and vanilla until well mixed. Beat the egg whites

4 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 quart milk, chilled
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
Nutmeg
Beat three whole eggs and 1 yolk until very thick and light
in color. Add 1 2/3 tablespoons sugar, beating in thoroughly. Stir in milk,
vanilla, and salt and pour the mixture into glasses.
Beat remaining egg white until almost stiff, add remaining
sugar and beat until peaks appear. Top each glass of eggnog with a spoonful of
meringue, sprinkle with nutmeg and serve immediately.
If you are not going to use right away, be sure to
refrigerate until ready to serve but in any event, drink your egg nog as
soon as possible and do not keep in the refrigerator overnight.
As with any egg product, if the
egg nog sits out throw it away to avoid the possibility of Salmonella!
