A Tom and Jerry is a traditional Christmastime cocktail in the United States, devised by British journalist Pierce Egan in the 1820s. It is a variant of eggnog with brandy and rum added and served hot, usually in a mug or a bowl. Another method uses egg whites, beaten stiff, with the yolks and sugar folded back in, and optionally vanilla extract added. A few spoonfuls are added to a mug, then hot milk and rum are added, and it is topped with nutmeg. Pre-made Tom and Jerry batter, typically produced by Wisconsin and Minnesota manufacturers, is sold in regional supermarkets during the Christmas season.〔Faust, Eric, Tom and Jerry batter is seasonally available in the Jamestown, NY area, where a strong Swedish influence is prominent.

Box 11472 - Mpls./St. Paul, MN 55111). Its listed ingredients include: Eggs, Sugar, Vegetable Stabilizer, Cream of Tartar and Vanilla. 〕〔https://plus.google.com/104477264029922817836/about?gl=us&hl=en〕 ==Onomastics== The name is related neither to the popular MGM cartoon characters Tom and Jerry nor to the earlier Tom and Jerry cartoons by Van Beuren Studio, nor to famous bartender "Professor" Jerry Thomas, the author of one of the first bartender's guides, ''How to Mix Drinks'' (1862). Instead, it is a reference to Egan's book, ''Life in London, or The Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorn Esq. and his Elegant Friend Corinthian Tom'' (1821), and the subsequent stage play ''Tom and Jerry, or Life in London'' (also 1821). To publicize the book and the play, Egan introduced a variation of eggnog by adding ½ fl oz of brandy, calling it a "Tom and Jerry". The additional fortification helped popularize the drink. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom and Jerry (cocktail)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
