The air is crisp, decorating is underway, and the feeling of the Holidays is in the air! Our question this month comes from Carol in Logan Square, who wonders what to do to give her party that "Holiday Feeling"... Pete, it's almost Christmas, and I am having a big party- what is a good drink that I can make easily and serve my guests? Carol, you make our job too easy over here! When we think Christmas, we don't think presents, or insane shopping trips. Instead, we think Eggnog, which is just about as wintery a drink as you can look for. Since this is the giving season, we decided to help you out a little by giving you a great recipe to make some! Just be sure to invite us over!! Yours, Pete Vas EGGNOG RECIPE 6 Large eggs 3/4 c Sugar 1 1/2 c Brandy 1/2 c Rum 4 c Milk 4 c Cream 1/2 c Icing sugar Nutmeg to sprinkle Separate the yolks from the whites of the eggs. Beat the yolks slowly while simultaneously adding the sugar; do this until the mixture is pale and golden. Now slowly add in the brandy and rum, then beat in the milk and half the cream. Set aside until just before serving, then whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the eggnog mixture. Whip the remaining cream and icing sugar until thick. Top each glass of eggnog with whipped cream and a shake of nutmeg. This yields eight servings.
