Our 50 Campfires eggnog is guaranteed to ease your weary bones after a day of snowshoeing or skiing, and will foster a great many jovial stories about the forest and beyond. Let’s get to it…

Eggnog: The Alcohol Protein Shake

Author: 50 Campfires

Ingredients

12 eggs (yolks only)
1 qt. half and half
1 lb. of sugar
2 cups of good rum
2 cups of good bourbon
2 tsp. of grated nutmeg
¼ tsp. of salt

Instructions

Separate the egg whites and save them for a protein packed omelet in the morning. Beat the 12 yolks until they reach medium consistency.
Mix everything else together and slowly whisk the eggs in.
Now comes the hard part – aging it. Eggnog gets more and more delicious the longer it sits. If you can, let it mature in the fridge for a week or two. True eggnog connoisseurs would age it for a full year, but we both know you’re not waiting that long. After two weeks it will basically be a magical protein shake, and your guests will realize that they actually love eggnog.
