Von Trier

Warm holiday drinks in MKE

 


It always feels like Christmas at Von Trier — something about the homey German decor, stained glass, & warm drinks. (Warm drinks!) 

Rachel was visiting Milwaukee for just a couple of days around Thanksgiving weekend, so we met at Von Trier for holiday spirits. Two Tom and Jerrys, please! I'd never had one before. It's a warm-your-cockles libation — creamy and delicious, if rather boozy in the middle. The Tom and Jerry is comparable to egg nog and actually originated in the Midwest. As Rachel so eloquently put it, "It's not Wisconsin if you're not drinkin' eggs!"

Also on the Von Trier "hot drinks" menu: Fancy hot chocolates, marzipan coffee, Hot Toddys, and assorted mulled ciders. I'm going back to try them all eventually — Merry Christmas to me!
