The Tom and Jerry is a traditional beverage that has become a classic, especially for winter holidays in several countries. Its origin dates back to the 19th century in the United States, where it was popularized as a hot and comforting cocktail ideal for combating the cold. In Latin America, although its name is usually kept the same, in some places it is simply known as "Hot Egg Punch" or similar variations, due to its base of egg and spices. This drink brings together elements from different culinary traditions, combining the sweet flavor of the egg with the alcoholic touch of brandy and rum. It is common to enjoy it especially at Christmas and New Year's, making it a symbol of unity and celebration.
