Brandy milk punch became popular in the American colonies, when it was considered a cure for the common cold. Though its medicinal benefits are still up for debate, the drink became popular at Brennan's as a hangover cure, and now it's a staple on many New Orleans brunch menus. This version, made with gold rum, is a tropical twist on the original. -Nora Horvath for Food Network Magazine
