I made this the other day. Unfortunately, it was too strong alcohol wise for our taste, but I would make again cutting down on alcohol by reducing to half at least. Try as you go. I like how this uses cooked egg yolks. Thank you.

This egg nog is delicious. I love that it is made from scratch cause it makes me feel like I'm in Victorian times. I made it for last Christmas and my BF liked it so much that I have to make it again even if the holidays are over. He will probably invent a new holiday meant for drinking egg nog. Thank you so much!
