What is Egg Punch?
Egg Punch is a festive, creamy egg-based drink made with a mix of milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks, and a splash of booze. Its rich, spiced flavors make it the perfect holiday drink, especially if you’re throwing a holiday party!
What’s the Difference Between Egg Punch and Eggnog?
Think of egg punch as a lighter version of eggnog! While eggnog often includes whipped egg whites for an airy texture, egg punch keeps things simple with just the yolks, creating a velvety-smooth drink.
Ingredients
-
0.25 liter of vodka (about a cup)
-
0.5 liter of whole milk (2 cups)
-
0.25 liter heavy cream (1 cup)
-
5 Happy Egg egg yolks
-
250 gram sugar (about a cup)
-
vanilla pod
-
pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
1. Heat milk, heavy cream, 150 grams of sugar, and a vanilla pod in a pot until it just starts to simmer. Turn off the heat and take out the vanilla pod.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining 100 grams of sugar until smooth.
3. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks while stirring constantly (a fork or whisk works great!).
4. Let it cool to room temperature, then stir in vodka and a pinch of cinnamon.
5. Pour it into a big bottle—or a few small ones if you’re sharing—and chill in the fridge for 12–24 hours.
Tips
-
Take It Slow: When mixing the warm milk and cream into the egg yolks, go super slow. Pouring too quickly can accidentally cook the eggs, and nobody wants scrambled egg punch!

Upgrade Your Yolks: For the creamiest, most luxurious egg punch, use high-quality egg yolks—like the tasty, orange yolks from Happy Eggs. They make all the difference!
