tom & jerry

A tom and jerry is a traditional christmastime cocktail in the united states, sometimes attributed to british writer and professional boxing journalist pierce egan in the 1820s. it is a variant of eggnog with brandy and rum added and served hot, usually in a mug or a bowl. another method uses egg whites, beaten stiff, with the yolks and sugar folded back in, and optionally vanilla extract added. a few spoonfuls are added to a mug, then hot milk and rum are added, and it is topped with nutmeg. pre-made tom and jerry batter, typically produced by manufacturers in wisconsin, minnesota and the dakotas, is sold in regional supermarkets during the christmas season.
