With a place of honor in the New Orleans drink pantheon alongside the Sazerac and the Ramos Gin Fizz, bourbon milk punch is enjoyed morning and night in the Crescent City, but most commonly at brunch. Restaurants and bars often pride themselves on their particular rendition. This one comes from the famed French 75 Bar in Arnaud's restaurant in the French Quarter. It is easily whipped up before or after a meal, and offers near-immediate gratification.

CARIBBEAN MILK PUNCH

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

Time 15m

Yield 1 drink (plus extra vanilla syrup)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 ounce gold rum
1/2 ounce bourbon
1 ounce heavy cream
Freshly grated nutmeg, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Make the vanilla syrup: Combine 1 cup water, the sugar and vanilla bean in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool, then remove the vanilla bean.
  • Make the cocktail: Combine 1 ounce vanilla syrup, the rum, bourbon and heavy cream in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until frothy.
  • Strain the drink into a coupe glass. Sprinkle with nutmeg.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the milk punch will taste. This is especially true for the milk and cream.
  • Gently stir the punch: Avoid shaking or vigorously stirring the punch, as this will incorporate too much air and make the punch cloudy.
  • Chill the punch before serving: Milk punch is best served chilled. You can chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Garnish the punch with spices: When serving, you can garnish the punch with spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, or cardamom. This will add a touch of extra flavor and aroma.
