This was a Christmas tradition in my family. We opened our gifts on Christmas Eve and Dad and I were in charge of making these since I was knee high to the kitchen table.
Ingredients: Eggs Powdered Sugar Milk Brandy Dark Rum Nutmeg
To Make: 1. Separate eggs, yolks in one bowl, whites in the other. 2. Mix powdered sugar into the yolks until you can handly move the spoon 3. Beat eggs whites until stiff. 4. Fold beaten egg white into egg/sugar mixture, we'll call this the batter. 5. Heat milk slowly (don't want that nasty stuff on the top) but not too hot to drink. 6. In the meantime while that milk is heating, pour hot water into cups so they will be hot. 7. Pour water out of cups. 8. Add batter to cups, to a little less than 1/2 full. 9. For the drinkers in the room, add 1/2 jigger rum and 1/2 jigger brandy. 10. Fill cup with hot milk, stir with a spoon until top is a little frothy. 11. Sprinkle nutmeg on top and serve.
Merry Christmas! jc2weho

Hey JC...Trader Joes and Beverages and More both have a Tom and Jerry mix now. Just add rum, brandy, heat and away you go. My friend bought some and it was tasty goodness. I'll have to get some for the upcoming holidays!
bbbbbbbbb Women and cats will do as they please. Men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

Njoynit and JC, When doing your layering if one doesn't have a steady hand or feel too confident with layering, (you have to shoot the liquor in and on to the side of the shot glass as to not allow it to mix together as you're pouring...) But if it's easier take the back of a spoon and tip the spoon into the shot glass at say a 45 degree angle and gently pour on to the back of the spoon and just to the side of the shot glass, so you achieve the layered look....
If worse comes to worse and you don't get it the layered looked, they still take great no matter what they look like!!

Gardengal, thanks for the heads up about Trader Joe's, I will pick some up. I love Tom and Jerry's but hate the time it takes to make them. Plus that darn batter separates by the next day.
Weezie, great spoon tip for layering! B52, I have had them, no wonder that recipe looked so familiar.

(if for some reason you like it sweeter, add sugar to taste) *I personally never do*
Other garnishes; Slices of Orange, Apples, Lemons, or Raisins Set on warmer to keep warm. You can strain the mixer if it's sat a bit and items in the liquid break apart in the warming process......
Also,
1 1/4 oz. Spiced Rum 6 oz. Apple Cider (Hot) Instructions: Rim glass with sugar and cinnamon. Add hot cider and rum.
Enjoy!!

I don't remember the name of the drink but I have had one of those layered drinks but wasn't sure while I was drinking it whether or not to stir it or drink it layer by layer. What is the RIGHT way to drink a layer drink. If there is a right and wrong?

A coffee nudge is some combo of coffee, Bailey's and Kaluha, with whipped cream on top...if it's poured correctly it ends up layered, and then as it sits the whipped cream is pulled through it in 'streamers'...pretty neat looking! I personally am not too fond of the drink, but mom's side of my family drinks them this time of year...starting with Halloweeen...made the trick-or-treating better for us all!
Ever had coconut rum and coke?

Is it the Cocoribe I mentioned? (I've only seen it on the shelf at the store...didn't know what it was) I've had Pina Coladas made with cocoanut syrup & reg rum......

Peppermint, Those things are pretty much ALL liquor, depending how much milk/cream was put in..
If it was tasty to you, but would like it to be less strong or weaker in liquor taste, we used to have girls put them in tall shaker glasses and add alot of milk, so it wasn't so much liquor tasting, still same amount of liq. just more milk, more filling...
A Black Russian is no milk............

Nah, Weezie! I am not a mixologist, my occupation makes me do a whole lot of online reseach. I have a great search program called Copernic Agent. I type in what I am looking for and it does a very defined search. Not like those gazillion things that come up if you use Internet Explorer. If you are interested they have a freeware version:

I will definately show that one to my husband and computer man!!!
Thanks!! Weezie
Here, you had me going, I thought you were a true professional there. I'm way outta touch with that, I was testing my memory of drinks and it was wayyyyyyyyyyy shy of the repertoire of what I used to know....
I should go back to studying that stuff again.. Not that I want to go back to that "den of wheneckwahties"(sp)??? (HOW do you spell that word anyways???) But it's fun to remember if I just could!
