I've always made eggnog, hollandaise, and even caesar salad the classic way; no one has ever had ill effects. I use my father's bourbon eggnog recipe, and I doubt any evil germ could survive that.

Maker's Mark Eggnog
http://www.ambassador.makersmark.com

Ingredients:
1 liter Maker's Mark
1 quart milk
1 quart heavy cream
2 dozen eggs
1? cups sugar
Nutmeg for garnish

Separate eggs and beat yolks until creamy. Whip sugar into yolks. Beat whites until they stand in peaks, adding 1/2 cup additional
sugar, if desired. Beat yolks and Maker's Mark together. Add whites. Beat cream. Add cream and milk to mixture. Add nutmeg to taste,
and garnish each cup with nutmeg. Makes 10-15 servings.

In colonial North America, rum was added to eggnog to provide the kick. Rum is still the preferred spirit in eggnog in many parts of the country, although it can be made with bourbon, whiskey, brandy, sherry or nearly any other type of spirit.

Rum, amaretto, perhaps some bourbon . . . and if we're feeling saucy, a shot of Barenjager!

If you worry about salmonella you can always use pasteurized eggs. I use them occasionally (like in French Silk Pie) if I am making it for someone else, but not for my family.

See this is what I like to hear. Give us the facts and let us decide. The writer is just telling us to be careful and giving some opinions on eggs and such. They are not banning egg nog just saying be careful. The food idiots are banning stuff, cigarette police are banning them, the television crazies are banning this and that, the ACLU are suing to get rid of this and that. This is an article that I find interesting and might even take the recommendations under advisement...doubt it. lol.

My favorite eggnog recipe? Why, I thought you would never ask!

Place ~ 4 cups/mugs and one tumbler on the counter
Add ice to suit your needs to the glass
Pour your favorite eggnog mixture into the cups/mugs
Fill the tumbler with a good quality single-malt Scotch
Call the kids into the kitchen to consume the eggnog…

Or, some people might accept the risk, about five one-thousandths of 1 percent, of contracting food poisoning by eating raw eggs.

That's about 1 in 20,000. I would have to eat one raw egg a day for over 54 years to get through 20,000 eggs. I think I stand a higher risk of dying in a car accident. I'm going to enjoy my eggnog and not worry.
