What alcohol goes best in eggnog?

We are partial to the RumChata and Cinnamon Whiskey combination, but here are some other spirits that pair well with eggnog:

RUM (spiced rum or coconut rum is best)
BOURBON
WHISKEY
BRANDY
FLAVORED VODKA (we like vanilla or spiced orange)
IRISH CREAM (Bailey's)

As the year draws to an end, start thinking about the resolutions for new year and be sure to spend the holiday safely in the company of family and friends. We wish everyone a Happy New Year and look forward to filling your bellies and hearts with great recipes and stories.
