Cheers! to Holiday drink recipes

Mmmm, one of my favorite drinks of the holiday season, without a doubt is eggnog. This season, I thought it might be fun to try making my own batch of the stuff, mixed of course with some spiced Jamaican rum. Here is the recipe incase you would like to be adventurous this holiday season too. From what I read, if it's properly stored, it can last up to a few months (transfered to a bottle and kept in the fridge). If you have any left over after serving this punch, it could be bottled and made into an excellent gift for those hard to shop for people!
