It wouldn't be Christmas without my grandfather's eggnog. This is not for the faint of heart. Its smooth and creamy deliciousness hides a powerful dose of whiskey! You may run into Santa after a few of these!! Cheers! And remember, don't drink and drive.

Creamy and downright delicious!  Naturally, adjust alcohol amounts to suit...but we loved this wonderfully classic recipe as-is.
