This is an eggnog recipe for hard-core egg-noggers only. Be wary if you are a wimp about raw eggs or heart disease. That said, this is the Hornsby Family Eggnog Recipe, passed down through the ages and the annals of Texas history. I present you now the original, one-dozen-eggs recipe as it was told to me by my grandma. On our Christmas day, this is usually served as a dessert, to be eaten with a spoon.

INGREDIENTS * 12 eggs * 12 shots bourbon or brandy (Grandma says: "Get the very cheapest kind of bourbon or brandy") * 1 shot dark rum * 12 T sugar * Grated nutmeg for sprinkling (I say: "The more, the merrier") * Optional: heavy cream (Grandma says: "This is a very strong eggnog and if some people find it too strong, put a dollop of freshly whipped cream on top")

Separate the eggs carefully, putting the yolks in one bowl and the whites in a large mixing bowl.

Whisk the sugar into the yolks until it becomes smooth.

Add the liquor. In the mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on high speed for about 3-4 minutes until they form stiff peaks.

Gently fold the whites into the liquor mixture.

Scoop into glasses and sprinkle with nutmeg.

Top with some whipped cream if you want; or don't. Merry Christmas, all!
