Blended Eggnog Cocktail

Directions

1. 1
   Place milk in saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer.
2. 2
   Meanwhile, beat egg yolks and sugar with electric mixer on high, until pale and fluffy.
3. 3
   Pour hot milk into yolks and beat to combine. Transfer to clean saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, for 6-8 mins, until thickened mixture coats back of spoon. Remove from heat and transfer to large bowl. Stir in vanilla, nutmeg and bourbon. Refrigerate until chilled, up to 24 hours.
4. 4
   Place eggnog, cream (if using) and ice in blender and process until smooth. Use more ice for a thicker cocktail, less for a thinner cocktail. Pour into glasses and dust with nutmeg to serve.
