Whew! This is a nice and simple eggnog to make up. It is very strong. I once read that the alcohol kills any potential nasties from uncooked eggs. I can attest to being quite 'healthy' after this. Just look at the rosy glow on my face! ;) I was worried the Jack would cause this to separate, but it stayed together long enough for my girlfriends to get their hands on it while we were making our Christmas cookies. I'm not so sure how the cookies turned out though! Made and Reviewed for Please Review My Recipe Tag - Thanks! :)
