Put the egg yolks and sugar into the bowI of an electric mixer and beat until light and lemon-colored.

Gradually add the bourbon, beating on low speed.

In a separate bowl whip the cream until stiff.

Fold it into the egg-yolk mixture.

In a clean bowl whip the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the eggnog.
