Notes

This recipe makes a large quantity and is suitable for feeding a crowd. The author used a different alcohol from the ones suggested in the original recipe and found that it worked well.
The egg whites need to be beaten for 20–25 minutes after adding the sugar syrup, so a stand mixer can make this step easier.
