You need to plan ahead for the 4^th of July. That’s right, new shorts, new T-shirt or swim suit and a revolutionary war era drink to serve. Yep, what follows is supposedly directly from George Washington.

eggnog (George Washington recipe)

“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 12 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.”

And do NOT try to drive anything other than a horse that’s being led by your sober spouse.
