Ingredients

12 eggs
1 quart heavy whipping cream
1 quart whole milk
2 cups sugar
1 liter bourbon minus 1 cup
1 pint rum
1 cup brandy
pinch salt

Instructions

Gather 3 bowls. Two should be fairly large for the whipped cream and egg whites. A smaller bowl is fine for the egg yokes.
Separate the eggs.
Beat egg whites until very stiff. Set aside.
To the yolks, add 1 cup of sugar. Beat until very light yellow. Set aside.
Wash egg beaters, then use to beat the heavy whipping cream, adding the other cup of sugar until it holds soft peaks. Don’t over beat—cream can turn into butter.
In a very large (2 gallon) glass jar, combine the ingredients from the bowls with the milk, booze, and salt.
Store in the refrigerator, stirring occasionally for at least one week before serving. Makes a gallon and a half.

Notes

You may use pasteurized eggs if concerned about raw eggs in recipe.
