GIN PUNCH

Gin Punch image

We found this recipe in Jerry Thomas's 1862 How to Mix Drinks or the Bon Vivant's Companion, in a recipe for a single serving. It called for Holland gin-or genever, as we know it today-and was probably a very popular drink. The back story is that when planning our first End of Prohibition party we were searching for punch recipes that could be served in teacups. So we started going through books and shot a few ideas back and forth until we found papa Jerry's recipe. We replaced the genever with Plymouth gin, and with a few more tweaks we got it perfect. The decorative ice block adds a great visual effect.

This punch is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some oranges and limes that were about to go bad, so I threw them in a pitcher with some gin, sparkling water, and sugar. It turned out great!

I was looking for a gin punch recipe that wasn't too sweet, and this one fit the bill perfectly. It's tart and refreshing, and the cucumber adds a nice touch.
