I've made a similar sauce using Irish whiskey and a tablespoon of neufchatel cheese instead of an egg. It can easily go 12-16 hours unrefrigerated. Even after that it's safe to eat, it just starts to get weird crystallizations in it when it sits at room temperature.
Obviously chilled in a cooler is better, and I usually do mine as Mal says above. I've just used the neufchatel one for times when I know the sauce might sit out for hours (like the office Christmas party).
