You know what eggs are. In cocktails, eggs are used for their foaming properties, giving the drink a rich and creamy texture. The eggs proteins form a 'net' that traps air and liquid extremely well; for this reason, drinks that contain eggs are shaken. They are also used for egg washing, a type of booze washing. Some cocktails use only the egg white (fizzes) and some use the whole egg or only the yolk (flips). There are common non-egg substitutes out there, check out insta-foam

Serves 15. Place the egg whites in a 5-quart bowl and the egg yolks in a separate 5-quart bowl. Add 6 ounces of the sugar to the bowl with egg yolks, then whisk until the yolks turn pale yellow and thicken. Whisk in the cream, followed by the milk, Frangelico, Scotch, bourbon, Cognac, and rum. Grate a whole nutmeg over the top and whisk until combined. Add the remaining 2 ounces sugar to the egg whites and whisk until stiff peaks form. Slowly whisk into the egg yolk–spirits mixture. Reserve in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks. When ready to serve, pour a serving into a festive mug and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg. #makeinadvance #batch
