Tom & Jerry
At the Metropolitan Hotel in
the mid-1800's "Professor" Jerry Thomas held sway
over the bar with his How to Mix Drinks, or The Bon Vivant's
Companion, the first bartender's guide in print for
wide circulation.
Included was this recipe for
his own "Tom and Jerry" which today remains a
holiday favorite, and perfect for any snow-covered day in
NYC...
Ingredients:
| 1 egg, separated |
3/4 ounce brandy |
| 1 tbsp. sugar |
2/3 cup hot milk |

egg white separately.
