Warm up winter gatherings with this classic Schenley** Tom and Jerry, a nostalgic holiday cocktail dating back to the 19th century. This sophisticated version blends rich egg yolks with sugar, rye whiskey and rum, then incorporates whipped egg whites for a remarkably fluffy texture. Topped with hot milk and freshly grated nutmeg, it's a festive alternative to eggnog that brings cozy elegance to any celebration.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Uncle Dave says...
** Schenley Whiskey was one of America's "Big Four" liquor companies to emerge from Prohibition. The brand built its reputation on quality blended whiskeys, with Schenley Reserve emerging as their notable rye whiskey offering.
There appears to be several "Schenley" rye whiskies out there now. It is unclear is the term "Schenley" has become generic for a type of rye.

๐Ÿ‘‹ Welcome! ๐Ÿ‘‹

When I started The Ferguson Recipes in 2006, my main goal was to create a place where I could collect and present our favorite family recipes in an orderly fashion, without all of the distractions of other recipe sites. At The Ferguson Recipes you will find recipes, plain and simple, just like the recipe cards you have crammed into that well worn binder of your family's most beloved recipes.

Many of the recipes included here are Ferguson family favorites passed down through the years. Many more are recipes we have gotten from friends or shamelessly "adopted" from other recipe sites. And a lot of the recipes are from recipe collections which family members have participated in creating, such as "Cooking with Carl, Hugh and your Friends", "Cooking With Cow", "The Sears Sun Cookbook", and more!

Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy, Disclaimers, and Terms of Service are located at the bottom of every page.
