My husband doesn't drink and I'd sure like to make this pie for us. It would be a shame to make it and he couldn't have any. Unfortunately, even with only using the 1/4 cup (and 2 TBS), there's still alcohol in it. So, if he's a strict tea-totaller, the pie is a no-no. BUT I have seen rum-FLAVORED syrups on the market, so you could try that (and orange juice instead of orange liqueuer?) instead. If you do make a non-alcoholic version, make sure to post about it.
