Generally I'm a straight liquor man. Shot of goldschlagger, amaretto on the rocks. For a mixed drink it's captain and coke.

This time of year ... I love Tom and Jerry's ...


Ingredients
Tom and Jerry
12 egg(s)
1 cup sugar
1 bottle brandy
Pinch of ground allspice
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground cloves
1 bottle dark rum
milk
nutmeg


Glass Type: mug

Instructions

Separate the eggs. Beat the whites until they form a stiff froth, and the yolks -- to which you have added the sugar -- "until they are as thin as water," as the professor advises, gradually adding 4 ounces brandy (spiceaholics will also add a pinch each of ground allspice, cinnamon, and cloves). Fold the whites into the yolks. When ready to serve, give it another stir and then put 1 tablespoon of this batter in a small mug or tumbler. Now add 1 ounce brandy (although some die-hard Dixiecrats prefer bourbon) and 1 ounce Jamaican rum, stirring constantly to avoid curdling. Fill to the top with hot milk and stir until you get foam. Sprinkle a little grated nutmeg on top. This one may require practice and a certain amount of fiddling, but it's well worth the effort. Note: Some people find the milk too rich and filling, so they use half hot milk, half boiling water.

(Of course, you can usually buy T&J mix at the liquor store so all you really need is the rum. *hick*)

Another good holiday drink is Hot Buttered Rum ... yummy.

Ingredients
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 pinch salt
2 quarts hot water
3 cinnamon sticks
6 whole cloves
2 cups rum
1 cup sweetened whipped cream
ground nutmeg to taste

Directions
1.Combine the brown sugar, butter, salt and hot water in 5 quart slow cooker. Add cinnamon sticks and cloves. Cover and cook on Low for 5 hours. Stir in rum.
2.Ladle from the slow cooker into mugs, and top with whipped cream and a dusting of nutmeg.

(Again, the batter is usually available pre-made at the liquor store.)

Whiskey and Coke. I prefer Pendleton Whiskey but also like Jameson.
