In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the egg yolks with sugar until light and fluffy.<\/p>\n<p>2. Combine the milk, cloves and cinnamon stick in a saucepan and heat gently, just before boiling point.<\/p>\n<p>3. Slowly add about half of the hot milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly so it doesn\u2019t scramble.<\/p>\n<p>4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and continue cooking over low-medium heat until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Do not boil.<\/p>\n<p>5. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for five minutes. Stir and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl.<\/p>\n<p>6. Add the cream, nutmeg and whisky or bourbon, then cover and refrigerate. Leave to for eight hours or overnight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Once the eggnog has matured in the fridge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>7. Ladle eggnog into individual glasses and serve with grated nutmeg and a cinnamon stick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To make the gingerbread twist to the classic eggnog cocktail<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>8. Pour a little ginger syrup into a saucer and place the crushed ginger biscuits in a separate saucer.<\/p>\n<p>9. Dip the rim of a cocktail glass in the syrup, then dip it into the crushed ginger biscuits to create an attractive glass rim.<\/p>\n<p>9. Combine the ginger syrup, the rum or whisky and eggnog in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well for a few seconds until cold, then strain into your cocktail glass.<\/p>\n<p>Nigella Lawson&#8217;s Snowball In Heaven and Brandy Alexander recipes soon to feature on Express.co.uk.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/life-style\/food\/1846558\/nigella-lawson-christmas-drinks-eggnog-cocktail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigella Lawson has recommended a gingerbread eggnog cocktail to enjoy this Christmassy season, among others.
