Not sure if you know this, but those original ladies of best of bridge, used to call for 26 ounce bottle of rum along with the brandy!! They must've had some fun bridge parties.

Looks delicious! Put our tree up tonight and this would have been a great addition to the tradition.

This sounds like a great recipe for egg nog. I can tell you right now I would be fast asleep very quickly as I don't drink often and this contains lots of liquor. I sounds so good.

Since we are not hard alcohol drinkers, what would I substitute it for? We have been wanting to find a good non-alcoholic eggnog for years since most what we find is filled with high fructose corn syrup as the sweetener. Can't have that in my family.
