Milk Punch

Milk punch is something I've wanted to try for a few years now, but it was for this most recent New Year's Eve that I finally decided to make it. I adapted it from the Smitten Kitchen recipe here. I decided I would a small batch with bourbon, and a small batch with brandy.

Both were sweet and delicious. The whiskey one was assertive - you definitely need to like whiskey to drink it. The brandy one was easy to drink. It was like drinking ice cream or a Brandy Alexander. I wouldn't freeze these as long next time, because they were icy by the time we drank them. It's also nice not frozen, but I think that having a little slush is preferable.

Milk punch was very easy to make, and easy to make in advance. I know I'll make this again.
