Drink Up: Tom and Jerry

It’s Sunday morning and we are in a deep freeze, why not stay in and have a threesome with Tom and Jerry. Trust me, this is a surefire way to stay warm all day.

This cocktail was invented  by British journalist Pierce Egan in the 1820s; often dubbed an updated eggnog, it is the perfect warm winter drink.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.
