What’s New Year’s Eve without some great New Years’ Cheer? I’ve served this to great acclaim on many a New Year’s Eve, and am sure tonight will be no exception. So here we go!  Happy 2026, TTPers – it’s going to be a great year for America and freedom in the world!

* 12 eggs

* 1 cup powdered sugar

* 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

* 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

* 1/2 tsp ground allspice

* 3 cups Famous Grouse or Jack Daniels (your choice)

* 1 cup dark rum

* 1/2 cup apricot brandy

* 1/2 cup peach brandy

* 4 cups heavy cream

* 1 cup whole milk

Carefully separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one large mixing bowl and the whites in another. Mix egg yolks with an electric mixer on medium to combine. Add powdered sugar and spices and continue to mix until blended. Stir in the FG or JD, rum, and brandies, followed by the milk and cream.

Taste – add whatever more ingredients adjusting to preferred taste or sugar for level of desired sweetness.

Wash off beaters, whip egg whites in their bowl until stiff.  Refrigerate both bowls for  at least 2 hours or so before serving.

______________________________

To serve: pour basic mixture into punch bowl, re-whip egg whites then fold into mixture, sprinkle each glass served with dash of nutmeg.

Refrigerate again after serving, will last up to a week with refrigeration.  Enjoy!

And remember the wisdom of Mark Twain:  “Too much of anything is bad, but too much whiskey is just enough.”  Especially on New Year’s Eve…
