Big Rock Holiday Eggnog

This month during the ’cooking with Jim’ portion of the show, we thought it would be appropriate to share one of the Bix Mix Boys' favourite Christmas beverages. 

Here are the ingredients:
3 eggs, separated
½ cup sugar
2 cups milk
1 bottle of your favourite Big Rock beer
¼ cup brandy or bourbon
1 cup whipping cream ~ whipped
Nutmeg to taste

Beat the egg yolks with ¼ cup sugar until it’s very thick.
Gradually stir in milk, brandy, and a bottle of your favourite big rock beer.
Beat egg whites until foamy.
Gradually beat in remaining ¼ cup of sugar, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Fold whites into yolk/beer mixture.
Just before serving, fold in whipped cream.
Serve in small punch cups, sprinkled with nutmeg.

This recipe makes 6 cups of rich yet not heavily alcoholic pure Christmas pleasure. If you have never considered beer in eggnog, you will be quite pleasantly surprised at the delectable flavour. And don’t forget to leave a cup of eggnog and some cookies out for santa. He knows how good Big Rock beer is.
