An Alcoholic Ice Cream and a Creamy Alcoholic Drink

By Brooklyn Bill

A couple of weekends ago, I made a flavor of ice cream I'd never attempted before: eggnog. I based it on the recipe for (predictably) Eggnog Ice Cream in Claudia Fleming's The Last Course and the Simplified Eggnog recipe in Dale DeGroff's The Essential Cocktail.

That Simplied Eggnog recipe is, in turn, based on DeGroff's recipe for Brandy Milk Punch, an eggless holiday drink containing cognac, milk, simple syrup, vanilla, and nutmeg that sounded completely delicious. So I shook one of them up last night to break in my new cocktail shaker.
