Solid Serenade
Solid Serenade
The Tom & Jerry cocktail is a Wisconsin and northern Midwest tradition. The batter can be found in all the grocery stores and classic cocktail bars still have them on the menu. Presidio bartender Sam Lyden has riffed on the classic cocktail to create the Solid Serenade, which features tequila, sherry as opposed to the more traditional cognac and rum base.
