I could really go for a cocktail! Something different? I know - how about a little something made from a vintage cocktail recipe!

TOM AND JERRY


Make a batter by separating the yolks from whites of a given number of Eggs; beating the whites to a stiff froth and stirring the yolks until very thin. (whoa, major raw egg alert!)

Ok, anyone know where I could find a "Tom and Jerry" bowl and mug?

Then mix together in a Tom and Jerry bowl, stirring in Bar Sugar slowly until the batter is stiff and serve as follows:

Fill Tom and Jerry Mug 1/4 full of Batter.

1/2 jigger Rum.

1/2 jigger Brandy.

Stir well with Bar spoon; fill up with Hot Water; stir more; grate nutmeg on top and serve.

EGGNOG (bowl of 3 gallons)


Beat the yolks of 20 Eggs until thin and stir in 2-1/2 lbs. Bar Sugar until Sugar is thoroughly dissolved. (20 raw eggs? I think that constitutes a RAW EGG ALERT!!!) 

Into this mixture pour:

1-1/2 pints Jamaica Rum.

2 quarts old Brandy.

Mix the ingredients well by stirring.

Then pour in the milk slowly, stirring all the while to prevent curdling.

Pour carefully over the top of the mixture the whites of the Eggs, which have been beaten to a stiff froth.

Fill Punch glasses from the bowl with ladle and sprinkle a little nutmeg over each glassful.

"I can't hold it Captain!", "Steady Lad.... steady!"
