That’s Making a Comeback
The origins of the beloved drink are muddled, with two competing narratives. The first claims that British author Pierce Egan invented the drink in the early 19th century to promote his book, Life in London; or The Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorn, Esq. and His Elegant Friend Corinthian Tom.
The other well-known story, that famed New York bartender Jerry Thomas invented the Tom and Jerry in 1847, might sound more plausible at first — except that the recipe has been documented in the United States as far back as the 1820s.

Tom & Jerry’s Mix748400 - 6/1 qt.
Connolly’s recommends filling a cup ⅓ full of batter with ½ jigger of brandy and ½ jigger of dark rum, then filling the rest of the cup with piping hot water. It is not stirred, which causes the batter to rise to the top, creating a layer of froth.
