Brandy milk punch became popular in the American colonies, when it was considered a cure for the common cold. Though its medicinal benefits are still up for debate, the drink became popular at Brennan's as a hangover cure, and now it's a staple on many New Orleans brunch menus. This version, made with gold rum, is a tropical twist on the original. -Nora Horvath for Food Network Magazine

MILK PUNCH



Milk Punch image

This recipe was brought to the Times by Julia Reed in a 2001 magazine article in which she talked about her favorite (and not so favorite) holiday culinary traditions: "I will not serve eggnog, the one holiday culinary tradition I have never been able to get behind, but I will make milk punch. With its frothy top and not-so-jaundiced color, a milk punch is prettier to look at than eggnog and is not nearly as rich and cloying saved from that state by an effective combination of bourbon and brandy. They are especially good before a holiday lunch with, naturally, cheese straws and pecans. By evening, everyone will want a Santa hat."

My Mother was the designated Milk Punch maker for our block growing up. In her notes she recommends that this be a punch served at get togethers where no one is driving unless you have a designated driver. She got it from the first Junior League Cookbook.
