- 1.5 cups sugar
- 12 eggs, separated
- 1 quart heavy whipping cream
- 1 quart milk (I use 1%)
- 1 quart dark Myers rum or spiced rum
- 1 cup bourbon or whiskey
- 2 Tbsp vanilla extract
Separate the eggs.
Beat the egg whites until stiff. Add 1/2 cup of sugar at the end.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1 cup of sugar.
In a third bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
In a fourth (large) bowl, mix all ingredients together. Stir well.
Pour into jugs and/or jars to equal about 1 1/2 gallons of liquid. If you have to use more than one container, make sure you are stirring well as you put into containers to ensure ingredients are evenly dispersed.
