Christmas Cocktails?
Anyone have Christmas cocktail traditions? I come from a line of teetotalers, so it was with great delight that I embraced the drinking traditions of my inlaws. The big one for Christmas is Tom and Jerrys. Anyone else do them?
The wife's family even has Tom and Jerry sets (bowls and mugs) that have been passed down from generation to generation and get broken out at this time of year. It's a pretty cool tradition, and I always look forward to drinking them. http://www.esquire.com/drinks/tom-an...y-drink-recipe Ingredients 12 egg(s) 1 cup sugar 1 bottle brandy Pinch of ground allspice Pinch of ground cinnamon Pinch of ground cloves 1 bottle dark rum milk nutmeg Glass Type: mug Instructions Separate the eggs. Beat the whites until they form a stiff froth, and the yolks -- to which you have added the sugar -- "until they are as thin as water," as the professor advises, gradually adding 4 ounces brandy (spiceaholics will also add a pinch each of ground allspice, cinnamon, and cloves). Fold the whites into the yolks. When ready to serve, give it another stir and then put 1 tablespoon of this batter in a small mug or tumbler. Now add 1 ounce brandy (although some die-hard Dixiecrats prefer bourbon) and 1 ounce Jamaican rum, stirring constantly to avoid curdling. Fill to the top with hot milk and stir until you get foam. Sprinkle a little grated nutmeg on top. This one may require practice and a certain amount of fiddling, but it's well worth the effort. Note: Some people find the milk too rich and filling, so they use half hot milk, half boiling water.

That sounds like one hell of a hangover.

Nothing Special, but White Russians or Nutty Irishman are always a good holiday drink.

I'm really surprised more people don't do Tom and Jerry's. It's like an Iowa/Midwestern thing from what I'd heard. They're a bunch of freaking Iowa meatpacking bohunks, so I figured it was common in the area.
