Beer Nog
Bourbon tends to overpower eggnog. Try a Sapporo beer – its malty, smooth, robust flavors would be a alternative to add to this holiday party pleaser.

Ingredients
6 eggs, separated
1/2 c sugar, plus 2 Tbsp
2 1/2 c whole milk
1 1/2 c heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
10 fl oz Sapporo Premium Black
2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
Instructions
Whisk 6 egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer for several minutes, until the yolks lighten in color and double in volume. Lower speed of mixer and add milk, cream, vanilla, beer, and nutmeg, stirring until combined. Reserve yolk mixture. Clean mixer bowl and whisk attachment thoroughly (any traces of dairy or egg yolk left on equipment will keep the egg whites from whipping properly).
Whisk 6 egg whites in mixer on high. Gradually add in remaining 2 Tbsp sugar and keep whisking until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into yolk mixture. Chill and serve, topping each glass with additional grated nutmeg if desired.
