@ Helene 1/2 cup of Brandy and 1/2 a cup of Bourbon. This sounds yummy, can't wait to try it. My Aunt used to make homemade nog and I'm hoping this is very similar if not the exact recipe.Happy Holidays everyone!

I love this version, but as I had a bad experience with spiked nog, I was looking for a non-alcoholic version. Do you have an alternative to the alcohol to add?
