    • When well beaten, pour in gradually 6 jiggers of old bourbon and 2 jiggers of Hennessey cognac to "cook" the eggs, and continue to mix.
    • Add 1/3 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg (about half of one nutmeg per recipe)
    • Beat whipping cream until well whipped.
    • Beat egg whites stiff.
    • Mix cream and yolks.
    • Fold in egg whites.
    • Serve immediately, adding extra fresh grated nutmeg on top.
