This holiday season, we partnered with the Moody Mixologist to bring you our take on a Tom & Jerry, a classic holiday cocktail known for its warming spices and creamy texture. It all starts with a silky egg batter made with rich, flavorful Pete & Gerry's Pasture Raised eggs, blended with aged rum or brandy and hot milk for a festive treat worth savoring.

Instructions

Make the Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Whip until stiff peaks form.
2. In a separate medium bowl, beat together the egg yolks, sugar, spices, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
3. Gently mix the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites, one third at a time, until incorporated. Don’t overmix.
4. Cover and refrigerate any extra batter for up to 3 days.

Build the Cocktail

1. Fill your mugs with boiling water to warm them, then discard the water before building the drink.
2. Add the rum or brandy, Tom & Jerry batter, and hot milk to each warmed mug.
3. Stir until the batter dissolves and the drink becomes smooth and creamy.
4. Finish with freshly grated nutmeg, garnish (and stir) with a cinnamon stick, and enjoy!
