Eggnog to Die For

My Mother always made this at Christmas and I have kept on the tradition. When my husband and I got divorced , this recipe was one of the things he asked for ( naturally I didn't give it to him- it is a secret family recipe-lol)I don't care for the taste of alcohol but love this recipe. It is VERY thick and people almost lick the glass after drinking it.
