The word “punch” is derived from the Hindu word “panch or paunch” meaning “5”. Thus, there are typically five main components to a punch- Spirits, spice, citrus, water (or other dillutant, eg. Tea) and a sweetener. This is a modern interpretation of this classic 17th/18th century “punch service” style of imbibing.
Spirted Punch
5 oz. Rittenhouse 100 Rye
2 oz. Domaine de Canton
2 oz. 42 Below Manuka Honey
14 oz. orange oolong tea
1 ½ oz. vanilla sugar
4 oz. fresh orange juice
1 oz. lemon juice
3 pieces orange peel
Place sugar in punch bowl. Add orange peel and muddle to release oils. Add tea while still hot to dilute sugar. Add remaining ingredients, stir & finish with large cubes of ice.
Name your poison! Named after a beautiful but deadly plant, this drink has a dark color that hints at something sinister.
We collaborated with Savvy Housekeeping on another fun Halloween cocktail. But don’t worry, instead of using poisonous flowers or berries, we used black currant juice and black currant liqueur (also known as creme de cassis).
Deadly Nightshade
1 1/2 oz. bourbon
2 oz. black currant juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup
1/2 oz. creme de cassis
black or red grapes
club soda
Shake bourbon, juice, syrup and liqueur over ice and strain into cocktail or old-fashioned glass containing ice and chilled red or black grapes. Top off with club soda.
It’s almost Halloween, so bring out the pumpkin cocktails! This one uses cachaca–a spirit similar to rum made from cane sugar.
Pumpkin Caipirinha
2 oz. Leblon cachaça
1 oz. Pumpkin spice syrup
1/4 oz. French vanilla syrup
½ oz. Frangelico
1 tbsp. Pumpkin puree
1 dash Orange juice
1 dash Nutmeg & Cinnamon
In a cocktail shaker, shake all ingredients vigorously with ice. Strain into a frosted cocktail glass. Garnish with a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon.
A bit of a spell or a flick of the magic wand - the Sour Witch has just landed on her broomstick. This sophisticated cocktail is no laughing matter because it packs a powerful sour punch. Don’t be fooled by its soft exterior and champagne flute glass, this cocktail features absinthe and sour cherries.
Sour Witch
1 1/2 oz. Lucid absinthe
3/4 oz. Almond Syrup
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
3 or 4 pitted sour cherries
Sparkling wine or Champagne
In the bottom of a mixing glass, muddle the sour cherries in the lime juice and almond syrup. Add the Lucid with ice and shake very well. Strain into a chilled champagne flute. Top with sparkling wine or champagne.
Garnish: freshly grated nutmeg
