Squeeze the lemons and add 1 pint lemon juice. Add the liquor and the additional 4 pints water. Stir and serve chilled, with a large block (~8 in. diameter) of ice in the punch bowl.

PHILADELPHIA FISH HOUSE PUNCH (PENNYSLVANIA)

When a recipe has survived nearly three centuries, it's clear that the creators were onto something. The story goes that some well-to-do Philly Quakers joined together and built a fishing clubhouse on the banks of the Schuylkill River, where they devised this dangerously easy-drinking punch. It's rumored that George Washington once drank enough to give him a three-day hangover.

Categories     Cocktails

Number Of Ingredients 9

- ice cubes
- 1 ounce jamaica rum
- ½ ounce peach brandy
- ¼ ounce maraschino liqueur (not the liquid from maraschino cherries)
- ½ ounce brewed, cooled green tea
- ¼ ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ¼ ounce simple syrup (see note)
- half a lemon wheel, for garnish
- mint sprig, for garnish

Steps:

  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
  • Add the rum, peach brandy, maraschino liqueur, green tea, lemon juice and simple syrup. Shake vigorously, then strain into a punch cup filled half way with crushed ice.
  • Shake until chilled and strain into a glass filled halfway with crushed ice. Garnish with half a lemon slice and a sprig of mint.
  • NOTE: To make simple syrup, combine ½ cup of sugar and ½ cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a slow rolling boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof container and let cool to room temperature. Cool completely before using or storing in a glass jar in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to 4 weeks.
