Another one from former work colleague and friend Steve S. in Salt Lake City.
…I’m surprised you guys haven’t already run this one in your holiday rotation. The classic Tom and Jerry is one of those holiday season cocktails that was a mainstay at my parents annual Christmas party and is still going strong years later. We just had a couple at a swanky hospital affair here in Salt Lake a few days ago.
A very Merry Christmas to you guys this year and damn the SJWs…
Some classics never go out of style.
