Eggnog (Family Version)

By DWatkins23

Great Family Eggnog - This recipe has been adapted from the Four Roses Bourbon recipe... Originally, the Four Roses Bourbon and 1 oz of Jamaican rum was added to the mix... These days we serve the hard liquor on the side for people to add if they wish or not, which makes it "family" friendly.
