My only reccomendation would be to cut the sugar just slightly, but that's largely a matter of taste. Thanks Jeffrey! This was rather a good recipie.

The hint of orange actually complemented the nutmeg very nicely.

I had to do a bit of searching to find the Sailor Jerry's spiced rum, but it was so worth it. *This* is how egg nog is supposed to taste. I finally made the egg nog this weekend and it was divine!

My batch was tweaked slightly for our tastes and supplies: less sugar, plain rum plus spices instead of spiced rum. I've always loved the _flavor_ of store bought egg nog, but like you said, it's so thick it's almost undrinkable. I'd also always assumed that it was difficult and time consuming to make such a delicious beverage, but you proved me wrong. Thanks much!
