Looks Delicious! I hate waiting every year for this to come back to the stores. Looks like I don't have to anymore! YAY!!! I noticed that this is the non alcoholic version though. Why would you do that to us?

This looks fairly easy to make. Do you know how long it will last in the refrigerator after you make it? I as so making this!

In my house, it doesn't last long...... but I don't think thats what you meant. LOL This will usually last for about 7 days. I know that doesn't seem like a lot of time but remember that you are dealing with eggs and dairy products so please be careful not to go over that time frame. I usually only make this when I an entertaining and I know that it will all be consumed that night. As long as I don't put alcohol in it, my kids drink it pretty quick.
