Celebrate the Holidays via a Libational #SundaySupper...Featuring Big Easy Milk Punch!
Whenever we visit New Orleans, nearly every restaurant has their version of milk punch on their weekend brunch menus. After one sip, it's easy to tell why! It's creamy, sweet, and topped with a dusting of freshly grated nutmeg. Think of it like a grown-up milkshake. This cocktail is easy to whip up and it goes down very easy. Be careful, though...this cocktail may taste innocent, but it's deceptively potent! I'm going to show you how to make individual cocktails, but feel free to mix up a large batch in a pitcher for easy self serving at holiday brunches or other parties.
Big Easy Milk Punch
adapted from several New Orleans restaurants
Ingredients for each cocktail:
- 1/2 cup well chilled half and half
- 1/2 cup well chilled whole milk
- 2 ounces bourbon [NOTE: can substitute brandy or whiskey]
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tbs. powdered sugar
For topping:
- Whipped cream
- Freshly grated nutmeg
Directions: Add the cocktail ingredients to a cocktail shaker over ice. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds and strain into a chilled rocks glass. Top with whipped cream and nutmeg. Festive holiday cookies go really nicely on the side for a dessert of grown-up milk and cookies!
That's it...a party in a glass! This cocktail is creamy and comforting...and like I said? Deceptively potent! Everybody who tries this luscious libation goes absolutely crazy for it. I personally enjoy it with brunch year-round, but it's especially perfect during the holiday season. Give it a try instead of eggnog at your next party...it's guaranteed to be a big hit. Be sure to check out all of the fabulous cocktails and dishes that the #SundaySupper family is sharing today. There's sure to be something you'll enjoy!
