The Tom & Jerry - the most cozy, fluffy holiday drink ever!

Today’s drink is a cozy one - the Tom & Jerry! This is a holiday favorite that's been around for 200 years. What makes it so memorable is the texture - something created by using a batter. The batter should be enjoyed fresh, and most recipes require a large group to consume it all - so it really is perfect for a holiday party. This is a smaller recipe that's perfect for 2-3 people, but it's easily scaleable to serve the masses - if that's your goal. Liberties can, and should be taken. It's common to replace the hot water with hot milk, essentially creating hot eggnog. Or, if you want it richer, you could add softened butter to the batter and steer this drink closer to a hot buttered rum. Whatever approach you choose, may this fluffy, comforting drink warm your bones. Cheers!

I'm definitely trying this as soon as my bar is functional, 19 years of age and I'm a assistant teacher for bartending. I want to introduce this to my students once I get an opportunity to. cheers 🍻 Andres as always.

@Nickle314 Год назад

From the cake angle. Eggs at room temperature. Whisk the egg whites first, transfer to another bowl. The reason is that the yolks contain fat, and fat is bad when whisking egg whites. You need a very clean bowl for the whipping. Then add the egg yokes and other incredients and beat using the mixer. You can get specialist paddles that scrape and beat. You want the mixture to go pale, and you want all the sugar to disolve. Hence the caster sugar bit. 10-15 minutes. Surprising long. Next to combine. Use a spatula. Fold in half, just half, of the egg whites. This lossens the mix. Then fold in the rest. That approach keeps the most air in the mixture.

Tip for when you don’t have caster sugar - just put your sugar in to a food processor for like 15-20 seconds and it will be caster sugar, you can also use a coffee grinder for this. Great video anders, making this week, can’t believe I’ve never heard of this one? Cheers! As a baker I would also make the adjustment to hand fold the egg yolk mixture as the paddle attachment might take more of the air out of the whipped egg whites.

He served it at his cocktail parties in the 60s-70s. Drinks like this belong at the centerpiece of the holiday parties with all the cool collectible punchbowls and cups.

I used to live in Minnesota, and the grocery stores would sell containers of Tom & Jerry batter. You added it to a mug with rum or brandy, and added hot water. Loved it! However, since moving to North Carolina, I’ve discovered that it is not available here. This is far better, and is akin to the homemade eggnog I’ve made. Well done, Anders!

In Watertown, NY, now the Home of the 10th Mountain Division, USA, there was a historically significant restaurant.

We could not miss passing by for one or two of them.

Just want to say thanks for this video. My mother, aunts and grandmother used to make this drink frequently (along with hot buttered rums and hot toddies) for the adults in our family in the 70s and 80s here in California when I was little. Fond memories! Really appreciate you showing us how to reproduce it! I remember they made it from scratch sometimes (without the bitters), but they also cheated sometimes and bought a ready-made version of the batter in a tub that used to be found in local liquor stores along with other similar batters. You'd scoop them out by the tablespoon and add the booze and water/milk. This is the elevated version!

I just made this last weekend. Never heard of it before but it came up on the Difford's cocktail-of-the-day calendar so I gave it a shot. I so wish I'd looked up your video beforehand, my preparation did not turn out so great from just reading the recipe. Still very warm and cozy drink though ;-)

My parents used to make Tom & Jerrys when I was a kid, but I never tried them. They'd buy batter from the grocery store, and I can't find any out here, so I tried this recipe. And can I just say? This is 1000% better than eggnog. Hands-down best holiday cocktail. I'm going to make these every year. Thank you for the amazing recipe!

They're still popular in Buffalo, NY around Christmas time

We have Christmas in mid summer so I'm going to save this one for winter

I grew up with my family making these and it is still one of my favorites and because you did this video I subscribed. You're welcome. 😁

Very similar to the eggnogg I made last week, no hot water. Folded in whipped heavy cream and thinned it out with whole milk.

I live in Ohio. My wife's grandparents used to own a very old bar and grill. This was a Christmas special drink that was popular. Another local place has them for a limited time during the holidays. Not bad, but not the same... yum.

Hats off to the bars that make these for the public. I'd be covered in batter from head to toe if I had to serve these all night!
