After converting the liquor ingredients to smaller measures in the same proportion, I made a small batch to try. I then mixed the liquor with my favorite store-bought brand of egg nog and it was delicious. The mix of flavors is more complex than the standard Virgin Islands rum flavor found in most commercial egg nogs. My wife and I agreed that a small amount of the liquor enhanced the egg nog but more gave it a very boozy flavor, so start with less and add more to your liking. I will keep a bottle of "George Washington Egg Nog Liquor" on hand. Two thoughts on the liquors: (1) use a dry or semi-sweet sherry, not cream sherry and (2) use a gold or amber Jamaican rum rather than a heavy dark Jamaican rum that will overpower the other flavors. This recipe is a keeper!
