Tom and Jerry Cocktail #WarmUpDrinks

This creamy, delicious cocktail is a Christmas Tradition in the USA.  It is reminiscent of eggnog and warms you head to toe with the addition of brandy and rum.

Join us as we share Warm Up Drinks to help get us through the Winter.......

This is a 6 week event hosted by Ellen of Family Around the Table.   Ellen  invited a members of our Festive Foodie group to post Warm Up Drinks on each Friday for 6 weeks.   I missed the first two weeks but I am happy to be joining you today.

Let's take a look at what other warming drinks are being shared today.......

• Apple Spiced Tea by Jolene’s Recipe Journal
• Hot Tea Toddy by Our Good Life
• Hot Vanilla by Culinary Adventures with Camilla
• Mexican Coffee by Family Around the Table
• Mocha Hot Chocolate by Books n’ Cooks
• Small Batch Vanilla Cinnamon Cold Brew Latte by The Baking Fairy
• S’mores Latte by Cindy’s Recipes and Writings
• Tom and Jerry Cocktail by A Day in the Life on the Farm

The secret of this cocktail I'm sharing today is the "batter" that is made and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.  This batter is made by folding stiffly beaten egg whites into creamy smooth egg yolks that have been beaten with warm spices.

When ready to serve, place about a half cup into a coffee mug and add a half jigger each of brandy and white rum.  Fill the mug with boiling water and top with a sprinkle of nutmeg.  Cheers.
