More About This Recipe

  • While for some the name may conjure up images of a famous cartoon cat and mouse, this holiday drink created in the 1820s, is an old tradition that’s worth keeping around. A cousin to eggnog, this egg-based cocktail is served warm with brandy, rum and hot milk. While it takes a little bit of effort to whip both the yolks and whites separately for a Tom and Jerry drink, it does make a large batch so that everyone can enjoy a big cup of creamy, comforting holiday cheer. Interested in a non-alcoholic version? Just skip the brandy and rum and go straight to the milk. For more holiday fun, check out these other rum recipes ready to help you party.
