This sounds very like an old family recipe I have. The stuff can really knock out if you drink too much. My parents used to make batches of this every Easter and Christmas.
How do you eliminate the risk of salmonella if you use raw eggs?

Kinda think the alcohol will take care of salmonella, and probably just about any other organism!

How do you eliminate the risk of salmonella if you use raw eggs?No such thing--Junk science--Liberal canard
On the other hand, if you really are worried about it, take a look at the volume of alcohol. Nothing bad can live in that.

How do you eliminate the risk of salmonella if you use raw eggs? How could the salmonella survive that "environment"? LOL!
My Nana used to make a concoction like this, and she would always make a small batch sans the booze for the kids. Both batches looked the same in the glass, so no one knew that all of us kids were getting snookered. (Or maybe they did.)
Those were great days. I think I'll make up a batch this year in honor of Nana. God rest her soul. Thanks for the recipe.

How do you eliminate the risk of salmonella if you use raw eggs? You've never lived until you've imbibed "pickled salmonella."

Make certain to add the QUART of bourbon, the PINT of brandy and the CUP of rum.
Salmonella ain't gonna live through all that!

You can eliminate the risk of salmonella by purchasing pasteurized eggs. The eggs are heated so the yolks reach a temperature of 128*-138*.
The eggs are then subjected to a series of warm water baths over an extended period of time. The combination of heating and cooling over a slow period of time kills the salmonella without cooking the eggs. The protein is denatured a bit but not much by the process. Check out: Davidson Eggs

How do you eliminate the risk of salmonella if you use raw eggs?I'm guessing there's enough alcohol to kill any germs...
