1 cup sugar
3 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (6 to 8 lemons), strained
1 (750-ml) bottle Jamaican amber rum
12 oz Cognac (1 1/2 cups)
2 oz peach brandy (1/4 cup)
Garnish: lemon slices
Special Equipment
a 1/2-gallon cardboard juice or milk carton, top (spout) end cut off

Steps:

  • Put ice block in a punch bowl and pour punch over it.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rum: A good Fish House Punch starts with a quality rum. Look for a light or white rum that is at least 80 proof. Some popular brands to consider include Mount Gay, Havana Club, and Bacardi.
  • Use fresh fruit juices: Fresh fruit juices add a bright, vibrant flavor to Fish House Punch. Be sure to use ripe, juicy fruits for the best results. Some popular fruits to use include oranges, lemons, limes, and pineapples.
  • Sweeten to taste: Fish House Punch is traditionally made with simple syrup, but you can also use other sweeteners like honey or agave nectar. Start with a small amount of sweetener and add more to taste until the punch is to your liking.
  • Garnish with style: A few slices of fresh fruit or a sprinkle of nutmeg can add a touch of elegance to your Fish House Punch. Get creative and have fun with it!
