Good afternoon :-)
Many of the recipes I looked at mentioned a tot of rum, which I guess is not too out of the ordinary, as sherry trifle was a bit of a 70s staple in the UK and it's along similar lines.
As a small kid, I remember some of my relatives were devout Methodists. Subsequently, the trifle at their house never had any alcohol in and my dad always used to tease them about it.

Hoping you're having a lovely warm weekend :-)
