My favorite is basically the recipe from "The Joy of Cooking".
Beat egg yolks separately until light in color. Beat in sugar gradually. Add 2 cups rum very slowly, beating constantly. These liquors form the basis of the "nog", and you may choose one variety or mix to taste; I prefer rum. Let mixture stand covered for 1 hour to dispel the "eggy" taste.
Add liquor, whipping cream and peach brandy, beating constantly. Refrigerate covered for 3 hours.
Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold egg whites lightly into the other ingredients. Serve sprinkled with fresh nutmeg and cinnamon to taste. Yield is about 1 gallon.
This is a very rich, high-cholesterol, high-octane eggnog. If you use 4 cups of liquor in the second part, it will be *very* alcoholic; if you only use 2 cups, it will still be pretty strong.
