Recipe's Story:
- Tom & Jerry’s hold a special place in my Christmas memories. If my Mom & Dad had the Tom & Jerry bowl and cups out, it meant family and loved ones were coming over.
- It was never really about the drink; it was about the people. I share this tradition with my kids today, and of course, remove the Rum and Brandy, as my folks did for me.
