Throwback recipe: George Washington's very boozy eggnog

Ingredients:

• 1 quart cream
• 1 quart milk
• 12 tablespoons sugar
• 1 pint brandy
• ½ pint rye whiskey
• ½ pint Jamaica rum
• ¼ pint sherry
• 12 eggs

Make the batch:

• Mix all the liquors in a bowl.
• Separate yolks and whites of the eggs and beat the yolks (save the whites). Add sugar to the yolks; mix well.
• Add milk and cream, beating slowly.
• Beat egg whites until stiff, then fold them into mixture slowly.
• Let set in a cool place for several days. Taste frequently.

You don't have to twist my arm!

If that's too many ingredients, you can always go for a whiskey-spiked version of another Washington favorite: chocolate cream.
