Trader Vic's makes a Tom and Jerry Batter

if you're providing drinks for lots of people, you could make your own

Yield: 6 servings

8 jumbo eggs
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2-tsp. cream of tarter
freshly grated nutmeg
hot water

For each drink:
1 oz. Appleton Jamaican Rum
1 oz. Hardy Red Corner VS Cognac

Directions:

Separate egg whites and yolks.

In a large mixer, beat yolks until they're thin and transfer to another bowl.

Clean the mixer and add the egg whites and cream of tarter, beating until stiff.

Add powdered sugar and fold in yolks.

Mix until batter is thick, but light.

In a pre-heated mug, add one heaping ladle of batter.

Add rum and brandy.

Top with hot water and dust with freshly grated nutmeg.

Serve with a paddle or spoon.
Chef's note: For a richer drink, boiled milk can be used in place of water.
