I am merely a respectable English gentleman and I concede that you do indeed know more United States citizens than myself.
May I draw your attention to this recipe by a countryman of yours called George. Apparently he was quite big in politics back in the day. Apparently he's some kind of "floundering father"? Also, him and his mates carved their name into a rock in South Dakota or something, idk.
Anyway, this Mr Washington MADE his eggnog bloody strong!

“One quart cream, one quart milk, one dozen tablespoons sugar, one pint brandy, ½ pint rye whiskey, ½ pint Jamaica rum, ¼ pint sherry—mix liquor first, then separate yolks and whites of eggs, add sugar to beaten yolks, mix well. Add milk and cream, slowly beating. Beat whites of eggs until stiff and fold slowly into mixture. Let set in cool place for several days. Taste frequently.”
