Ok, This is a little early but the drink needs time to age.
I have this old German neighbor(literally from Germany) that makes this every x-mas for us. Last yr she gave us the recipe so I thought I would share. The first time we had it she gave my wife and I a little sip and I thought she was kidding. When she offered me the second I was warm and fuzzy and by the time I had finished the second I could hardly remember the night. So here goes and let me know how it comes out.
6 egg yolks 1/2 lb sugar (1and a 1/4 cup) 2/3 cup everclear alcohol 1 1/2 cups scaled vit D milk 1/2 tsp of vanilla
Scaled the milk and allow to cool. Cream egg yolks and sugar well. Slowly stir in cooled milk, alcohol and vanilla. Will become foamy. Allow to settle and fill a empty liqueur bottle. Now allow to sit for 4 weeks before drinking. I have had luck with letting it sit for 2 months and it then becomes very smooth and have not finished the bottle that she gave us last yr. ITS GREAT.

alright, whipped up a batch last night with my girlfriend, smells reeeally strong, haha, maybe because we made a double batch. Anyway, it seems a little chunky right now, hopefully it will smooth out in time.

You are the party guy Jerrydolley! I have a healthy respect for anyone who makes their own wine and eggnogg. Especially when they put everclear in it. That must be some wicked stuff.

Well, milk and eggs both spoil if left at room temp, so I think you better refrigerate it. If it's still out, I'd dump it and start over. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
