ROMPOPE (MEXICAN EGGNOG)

Steps:

• Combine milk, sugar, and cinnamon sticks in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over low heat. Continue to boil mixture, stirring constantly, until milk has reduced by a little more than 1/3, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Beat egg yolks with an electric mixer until thick and pale. Mix in a little of the warm milk. Pour egg yolk mixture into the saucepan and bring to a boil over low heat. Stir constantly and scrape bottom and sides of saucepan until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, fish out cinnamon sticks, and cool to lukewarm. Stir in rum and cool completely, about 2 hours.

ROMPOPE

Steps:

• Combine the milk, sugar, nutmeg, baking soda, allspice and cinnamon in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally and checking to make sure the milk doesn't boil over, until the mixture is slightly reduced and the flavors come together, about 30 minutes.
• Whisk the egg yolks by hand in a large stainless steel or heatproof bowl until well combined. Slowly pour in the milk mixture, whisking. Return the mixture to the saucepan over medium heat. Add the almond extract and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until the mixture comes to a boil and starts to thicken, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat, immediately add the rum or brandy and stir to combine.
• Remove the pan from the heat, discard the cinnamon stick and allspice berries and let cool at room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice.
