Hint #8: Coffee Eggnog Punch Recipe

This recipe is sure to be a crowd pleaser. This seems great for holiday parties.

I found the recipe below for Coffee Eggnog Punch at About.com.

A Christmas punch recipe made with eggnog, coffee and coffee ice cream, whiskey or bourbon, and spices.

Ingredients:

• 2 quarts chilled purchased eggnog
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
• 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 to 1 cup whiskey or bourbon
• 1 quart coffee ice cream
• sweetened whipped cream
• freshly grated nutmeg

Preparation:

Combine eggnog, brown sugar, instant coffee and spices in a large mixing bowl; beat at low speed with an electric mixer until sugar dissolves. Chill 15 minutes; stir until coffee granules dissolve and stir in whiskey. Cover and chill at least 1 hour. Pour into punch bowl or individual cups, leaving enough room for ice cream. Top with scoops of ice cream. Garnish each serving as desired with whipped cream and a grating of nutmeg.
