Do you like eggnog? I think it must be an acquired taste. I used to love it and make it, but then I discovered that I was the only one drinking it.
I was just getting out my recipes for the holidays and wanted to make sure I did not forget something at the grocers. In doing so, I saw my old recipe from 1972. This recipe was actually given to me by a co-worker at the old City of Detroit hospital. If you are not afraid to eat raw eggs or can find pasteurized ones, and you like eggnog, you might enjoy this recipe.

Wow, now I think I know why I enjoyed this so much and I am not much of an alcohol drinker, but I recall the flavors as being wonderful.
Let me know if you decide to make this.
