Tom and Jerry- Popular 1950's Drink


Tom and Jerry was created in 1820 by Pierce Egan, and gained popularity in the 1950's.

This drink is a popular holiday beverage.

Directions:
Beat egg whites and salt until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape.Beat the egg yolks to soft peaks in a separate bowl. Beat the butter and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla to the butter mixture; mix. Stir in the nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and the egg whites; beat until well blended. Batter can be frozen or kept in refrigerator for several weeks.To make a Tom and Jerry, fill a cup of hot water with spiced rum or brandy, warm milk, hot cocoa, or eggnog and stir in 1 heaping tablespoon of batter.

    It is very good post. I will try this recipe.
    When I look at this title at first time, I thought it is Catoon because "TOM and Jerry" is Catoon's name.

    I agree with Jess, I originially thought this was the cartoon "Tom and Jerry". I guess this drink might have inspired the cartoon or the cartoon was possibly created from descendants of the maker of this drink.
