We provide you two recipes today for Egg Punch. Both of these recipes use Egg Liqueur (Eierlikör), which is similar to eggnog but is not the same thing.  It is a liqueur made from egg yolks, sugar or honey, alcohol, and in some versions cream or milk. Egg Liqueur (Eierlikör) can be purchased in specialty liqueur stores. 

Recipe #1 is the more traditional version of Egg Punch and uses egg liqueur, wine, and rum.  Recipe #2 uses more egg liqueur and replaces the rum with orange juice to give it a sweeter taste. 

Egg Punch #1  (5 servings)
2 cups Egg Liqueur (Eierlikör)
2 cups White Wine, sweet variety
6-7 tablespoons Rum
Whipped Cream

Add wine to a cooking pot. Heat on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes - do not boil. Whisk in the egg liqueur and rum until well combined. Serve hot topped with some whipped cream.


Egg Punch #2  (8 servings)
1 bottle Egg Liqueur (Eierlikör)
2 cups White Wine, sweet variety
2 cups Orange Juice
1 package Vanilla Sugar
Whipped Cream
Ground Cinnamon

Combine the egg liqueur, wine, juice, and vanilla sugar in a cooking pot. Heat on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes - do not boil. Serve hot topped with some whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon.
