Santa Baby Eggnog

Santa Baby, leave a diamond necklace under the tree for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa honey, I wanna BMW and really that's
Not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
Three carats will do
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Ingredients for Creme Anglaise:
2 cups half-and-half
1/2 whole nutmeg, crushed with a heavy pan
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped out
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar

Ingredients for Cocktail:
1/2 cup sugar
2 ounces brandy
2 ounces rum
2 ounces bourbon

Directions:
1. Make the creme anglasie: Combine the half-and-half, crushed nutmeg, and vanilla bean pod and seeds in a medium saucepan and bring just to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and let steep 5 minutes.

2. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl. Slowly whisk in the warm half-and-half mixture, then pour the egg mixture into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the creme anglaise just begins to thicken, about 10 minutes. Strain and refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours.

3. Make the cocktail: Place the sugar on a plate. Dip the rims of 8 martini glasses in water, then in the sugar. Combine half each of creme anglaise, brandy, rum and bourbon in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into 4 glasses. Repeat to make 4 more cocktails.
