On the 2nd day of Christmas, my bartender made for me Brandy Milk Punch.
I recently re-discovered this classic New Orleans cocktail on my last visit; it is a traditional Southern Holiday drink. You really should try one – they are yummy but I wouldn’t suggest drinking too many of them in one sitting. This drink is also a perfect ‘hair of the dog’ drink – try it instead of a Caesar.
- 1.5 oz Old New Orleans Cajun Spice Rum
- .75 oz simple syrup (one part sugar, one part water)
- 1 dash pure vanilla extract
- 3 oz whole milk
- Fresh nutmeg and cinnamon
1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the brandy, milk, vanilla and simple syrup with 3 ice cubes and shake until frothy.
2. Strain into a double-old fashioned glass with cracked ice.
3. Shave fresh nutmeg and cinnamon on top.
4. Repeat
