 A larger or smaller quantity of this mixture may be made by increasing or diminishing the proportions of the ingredients given in the above recipe.

N.B.—A tea-spoonful of cream of tartar, or about as much carbonate of soda as you can get on a dime, will prevent the sugar from settling to the bottom of the mixture.

Take 1 table-spoonful of the above mixture.

1 wine-glass of brandy.

Fill the glass with boiling water, grate a little nutmeg on top, and serve with a spoon.

Adepts at the bar, in serving Tom and Jerry sometimes employ the following mixture:—one-half brandy, one-quarter Jamaica rum, one-quarter Santa Cruz rum. For convenience, these proportions are mixed and kept in a bottle, and a wine-glassful is used to each tumbler of Tom and Jerry, instead of brandy plain.

 

This is only another name for Tom and Jerry.

 

Take 1 lump of white sugar.

1 small wine-glass of Glenlivet, or Islay whiskey.

1 small piece of lemon-rind.
