This was the most beautiful, most elegant and most quickly consumed beverage/treat at my dessert party yesterday afternoon. I have always been intimidated by egg nog, but my was this just the best ever. I used 1 quart of whipping cream and only 3 cups of Maker's Mark; no other liquor. I feel like this helped me cross over to the "other" side of hostessing! Thank you Martha! I have arrived!!

This Christmas was my second year making this recipe. It really is so delicious. Cloud-like is true. If your only eggnog has come out of a paper container, get ready to have your mind blown. This is really more like a cappucino than the cloyingly thick nog you might be used to. Buy, yes, it is boozy so be careful. I only had about 1/2 cup of cognac, so I substituted more bourbon. Still very flavorful -- of course I always feel that way about bourbon, and there is only one kind: Maker's Mark. CHEERS!
