Melissa, thanks for bringing AVB's recipe back to life, however, you completely left me hanging without posting the recipe. No worries though, I found it - but for those other lazy fuggers who don't like to search:
AVB's Eggnog Recipe:
1 pint brandy
1/2 pint rye whiskey
1/2 pint Jamaica rum
1/4 pint sherry
8 eggs
12 Tbsp sugar
1 qt milk
1 qt heavy cream
Mix liquors first, then separate yolks and whites of eggs. Beat yolks and add sugar, mixing well. Add liquor to mixture slowly, continuing to beat. Add milk and cream, slowly beating. Beat whites of eggs until stiff and fold slowly into mixture. Chill thoroughly.
Hey AVB - I wouldn't think it would matter what brand of liquor you use because of all of other flavors involved in this mix, however, if you have found it to matter, let me know. I plan to make this at my folks's house next week! This might make things interesting next week. :laugh:
