How to Buy Tom & Jerry Drink Mix
Tom & Jerry Drink Mix is a frozen product that's used to prepare a Tom & Jerry cocktail, which is similar to eggnog. You can combine the mix with either milk or hot water, and then add whiskey, rum or brandy before topping it with nutmeg. Finding the mix, though, likely will be difficult unless you live in the northern Midwest, where the drink remains popular due to the region's severely cold weather. Does this Spark an idea?

History
-
In the early 1850s, "Professor" Jerry Thomas, a flamboyant bartender who is credited with reinventing British drinks into classic American cocktails, invented the Tom & Jerry drink. The cocktail traditionally is consumed around Christmastime since it's heavy and filling, making it appropriate for cold weather.
Local Stores
-
The drink mix isn't found in a lot of stores because people often make Tom & Jerry cocktails with fresh ingredients. However, it won't hurt to check your supermarket freezer to see if it's on the shelves. You also should inquire at your liquor store, since they carry alcoholic mixers.
