Preparation:

Step 1
• Whisk the eggs, egg yolk, and sugar in a large heatproof bowl until smooth.
Step 2
• In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream over medium heat until steaming, but do not bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, then pour everything into the saucepan and stir. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and a thermometer registers 165°F (74°C), about 5 minutes. Do not bring to a boil, otherwise the eggs will curdle..
Step 3
• Strain the drink through a fine sieve into a large bowl and add vanilla and nutmeg. Let cool at room temperature for about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 1 week..
Step 4
• In a large bowl, whip the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold the whipped cream into the chilled eggnog mixture, then add the rum. Pour the cocktail into glasses, sprinkle with nutmeg, and serve with cinnamon sticks.
