Kentucky Spike

A very strong and spicy blend of spirits that you can add to plain egg nog to jazz it up with tons of flavour. You'll need to let it steep for a few days to let the taste develop.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups bourbon
• 1 cup dark rum
• 1 cup brandy
• 1 vanilla bean, halved
• 1 whole nutmeg
• 2 large cinnamon sticks
• 7 whole cloves

Preparation:

Pour liqueurs into a quart jar or bottle. Scrape seeds from the vanilla and add, along with pod. Crack the nutmeg into 5 or 6 pieces and add to the liquid. Put in cinnamon sticks and cloves. Cover tightly and let stand for 1 week in a cool, dark spot. Add this mixture to plain eggnog or store-bought eggnog for a tasty holiday treat.
