Notes

Rum/ rum extract- This is optional but highly recommended the addition of real rum or extract in the rum icing adds amazing flavor.

Add raisins or nuts. You can also add raisins, walnuts, pecans, or macadamia nuts to your batter for extra flavors and textures.

Storing leftovers, you can easily store them in an airtight container on the counter.

To thin out the icing. Add 1 teaspoon of eggnog at a time until it's the desired consistency.
