Frequently Asked Questions About Tom and Jerry
What is a Tom and Jerry cocktail?
A Tom and Jerry is a traditional hot, sweet cocktail made with an egg-based batter, spices, and rum or brandy, then served with hot milk or water. It is especially associated with cold weather and the winter holiday season.
What is in a Tom and Jerry drink?
A Tom and Jerry typically contains eggs, sugar, warming spices such as nutmeg, and rum or brandy, topped with hot milk or water. Recipes vary, but the whipped egg mixture gives the drink its rich, frothy texture.
How do you make a Tom and Jerry cocktail?
To make a Tom and Jerry, beat egg yolks with sugar, then fold in separately whipped egg whites and spices. Put some batter in a mug, add rum or brandy, and top with hot milk or water; finish with grated nutmeg.
Is a Tom and Jerry cocktail alcoholic?
Yes, the classic Tom and Jerry contains rum, brandy, or both. You can leave out the spirits and make a warm egg-and-milk version, but it will not have the alcoholic flavor of the traditional cocktail.
What is the difference between a Tom and Jerry and eggnog?
A Tom and Jerry is usually served hot, with its egg batter mixed in a mug with hot milk or water. Eggnog is more commonly served chilled. Both can contain eggs, sugar, spices, and spirits, but they are distinct drinks.
Why is the Tom and Jerry cocktail served hot?
The Tom and Jerry is served hot because its egg batter is traditionally loosened in the mug with hot milk or water, creating a warming winter drink. Add the hot liquid gradually and stir so the batter blends smoothly.
Where did the Tom and Jerry drink originate?
The Tom and Jerry is generally described as an American cocktail dating to the 19th century and became linked with winter holidays. Accounts of its name and exact origin vary, so no single origin story is firmly established.
Does a Tom and Jerry cocktail contain raw egg?
It can: traditional Tom and Jerry batter is whipped into the hot drink, but the egg is not necessarily cooked through. Use pasteurized eggs if raw or lightly cooked egg is a concern; adding hot milk alone does not guarantee a safe temperature.
Can you make Tom and Jerry batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the egg-and-sugar batter for Tom and Jerry ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Add the hot milk or water and spirits when serving, and do not leave the egg mixture at room temperature for an extended time.
Can you make a Tom and Jerry with brandy instead of rum?
Yes, brandy can replace rum in a Tom and Jerry, and some recipes use both. Brandy gives the drink a different, fruitier spirit flavor, while rum is often sweeter and more pronounced. You can also omit the alcohol.

What is Tom and Jerry?
Tom and Jerry is a hot cocktail made with a sweetened, beaten-egg mixture, rum and brandy, loosened with hot milk and often finished with nutmeg. It is associated with the United States, where it is traditionally served around Christmas; in other places it is more of a seasonal treat than an everyday drink. Rich, frothy and sweet, it has a soft milky texture with the warmth of the spirits. It is often served in a mug at winter gatherings, sometimes alongside dessert. The egg and milk contribute some protein and fat, while the added sugar makes it a sweet, energy-dense drink; it provides 155 kcal per 100 g. For a lighter cup, use less sugar and keep the serving modest.
