Method

1
In a large bowl, crack the egg and add the vanilla, sugar, bourbon, rum and brandy, and grate in an exuberant amount of fresh nutmeg. If you don't want to use all 3 drinks, then choose your preferred one and triple the single measure given. Whip together all the ingredients, except the cream, with an electric whisk.
Slowly whisk in the cream and continue whisking until the cream is softly whipped, but still holds its shape when the whisk is lifted out. Be patient: the alcohol acts as a thinner, so the cream takes a while longer to thicken.
Dollop into 15 espresso cups or shot glasses and grate a little nutmeg over each one.
