Bourbon Punch
Cocktail History
Punches have been around for eons – the first is said to have been created in India. The word “punch” is derived from pañca, meaning “five,” or the five key ingredients it’s made from, namely: alcohol, sugar, fruit juice, water or tea, and spices. Punches made their way to the United Kingdom via sailors employed by the British East India Trading Company. The earliest known written mention of an English punch was recorded way back in 1632. This fruity and bubbly Bourbon Punch is perfect for large group gatherings, particularly in the summertime, but the addition of nutmeg will make you feel like fall is upon us.
