Tom & Jerry

Gather around the Christmas tree with a mug of something warm and boozy! The Tom & Jerry is a classic hot cocktail that’s just right for the holidays.

You can leave out the booze for the kids and those who don’t drink alcohol, and it will still taste fantastic. This recipe isn’t difficult, but it does take a little extra attention. The flavor is much nicer than you’d get from a Tom & Jerry flavoring packet for just a little extra effort

Ingredients

  • (This recipe is for 4 servings)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 4 ounces Cognac
  • 4 ounces dark rum
  • Milk (cooked till hot)

Instructions

Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until they stiffen. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks and then beat in the allspice, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Fold the yolk into the whites. This is the batter. For each drink, pour 2 tablespoons of this batter and then add one ounce of Cognac and one ounce of dark rum. Top off with the hot milk. Stir ingredients together and top each drink with a dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg.
