Tom And Jerry (mixed Drink)
A Tom and Jerry is a traditional Christmastime cocktail in the United States, devised by British 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 vanilla extract added. A few spoonfuls are added to a mug, then hot water and rum are added, and it is topped with nutmeg.
A Tom and Jerry is served primarily in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and is difficult - if not impossible - to find outside of the Upper Midwest or Northern Rocky Mountain region Pre-made Tom and Jerry batter, typically produced by Wisconsin manufacturers, is sold in regional supermarkets during the Christmas season.

And proves by thumps upon your back
How he esteems your merit,

Be very much his friend indeed
To pardon or to bear it.”

life is such fun
with a ragged greatcoat
and a Jerry gun!”
