Classic Tom & Jerry Cocktail

An extra-spiced take on the Jerry Thomas recipe.

With a recent resurgence in popularity, the Tom & Jerry retains a firm grip in the coldest parts of the country. At Oakland Art Novelty Company in Detroit, the version served is an extra-spiced take on the classic Jerry Thomas recipe found in David Wondrich’s book, Imbibe! “We have a couple of non-negotiables: The egg whites have to be whipped to stiff peaks by hand, and we only serve Tom & Jerrys on nights when it snows,” Levine says. “Our guests know it’ll never be on our menu, but is always available if it’s snowing outside.”

Ingredients

  • Tools:stirrer
  • Glass:small mug
  • Garnish:grated nutmeg

Preparation

Warm the mug with boiling water. Discard water and combine the Cognac, rum and batter in the mug. Top with hot milk, then stir briefly and garnish with grated nutmeg.
