Classic Holiday Drink – Tom and Jerry

This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my full disclosure statement for details.

December 20, 2014 Shannon Schmid 2 Comments

Cinnamon,cloves, allspice – it’s what the holidays taste like. And that is one reason that the classic cocktail, the Tom and Jerry has been popular around the United States since the 19th and 20th century.

A close to cousin to the Holiday classic Egg Nog, the Tom and Jerry is a slightly more sophisticated tipple. But it’s not that hard to make! Why not give it a try this holiday?

  • Choose good quality fresh eggs. I’m using Goldrich Eggs, and their deep golden colored #GoldrichYolk really makes the Tom and Jerry batter a beautiful color! They also taste great.
  • Make sure to mix your drink really, really well before serving. Let all the spices get a good swirl in your glass!
  • Be sure to use very hot water or milk, that will make sure the drink is optimum temperature when it gets to your lips!

There you have it. A classic bit of Americana – the holiday drink that ruled the States during the 19th and 20th century. Every mouthful of it’s frothy goodness will take you to a time gone by. Happy Holidays from my family to yours!

 

I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of AcornInfluence for Goldrich. I received compensation to facilitate my shopping trip, and to thank me for participating. All opinions are my own.

    Wow, I’ve never found anyone (outside of my family), who also made Tom & Jerrys during the holidays! Your recipe is slightly different from ours but I’m sure is just as delicious. The kids love it (non-alcoholic, of course) too! Nice to find your blog also since my family is considering a move to the Dallas area. Thanks and best wishes for 2019!
