How many "quarts" does Ben and Jerry's Vanilla Homemade Ice Cream make? The modern sizzling toddy is a generic reference for any good beverage base - coffee, tea, hot cider, a juice blend - that is heated and combined with spices "or something else," says Jeanette Hurt of Bay View, author Jerrys vc of the brand new "Wisconsin Cocktails" (University of Wisconsin Press, $30), in an interview. The strategy of creating a tasty scorching beverage is as straightforward as including one suitable ingredient to an already-profitable base. Trends come and go, however the Tom and Jerry gets its personal chapter in Hurt’s book because "it by no means went out of fashion in Wisconsin." One of her favorite sizzling drink tales is about a Milwaukee bar raided throughout Prohibition with a steaming batch of Tom and Jerrys vc behind the bar. Kind of like a progressive dinner, only that includes a distinct scorching drink and snack at each home.
