Actually, my great-grandfather owned a bar. I think this is the traditional way to make eggnog.

Growing up in south Louisiana, eggnog typically had liquor in it.....but not three different kinds! LOL How in the world could anyone have made it to midnight mass drinking this stuff? :)

It probably is. Heck, this receipt (as they say in South Carolina) could be in the "Joy of Cooking" for all I know. But I do get a kick out of the sentence structure he used in describing the preparation process.

I don't know how old you are, but my grandfather was probably in your great-grandfather's generation. My grandfather was a doctor in Washington, DC, and, I assume, a contemporary of Dr. Tyler. That is how we came by the recipe.
