====== Tom & Jerry ======
/* Description */

A tom & jerry a warm holiday drink that has an egg-based batter poured on top of hot water with a shot of 1/2 rum and 1/2 brandy, topped with nutmeg. It is traditionally served in a special t&j mug. It is delicious and very rich.

Mom and Dad had a big party every year in January that featured tom and jerries. We'd borrow friends' mixers and spend all afternoon making batches.  Andrea and I would take guest's coats up to my parent's room and one of my parents friends gave each of us a silver dollar each year. I loved the party and have had a number of parties as an adult.

Close family friend Willie Wood gave this recipe to Dad and he made it his own.
