Milk Punch & Pimm’s Cup

Since I will be on vacation this week, I thought I would post two drink recipes. This one is probably the most popular Eye-Opener at Commander’s Brunch.

1 1/2 ounces Bourbon or Brandy

1/2 ounce Vanilla Extract

1/2 ounce Simple Syrup

1 ounce Half-and-Half

2 ounces Milk

Freshly grated Nutmeg

Half fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add bourbon or brandy, vanilla, simple syrup, half-and-half and milk. Shake vigorously and strain into a 9 ounce old-fashion glass. Top with nutmeg.

Enjoy!!!

I remember my mother drinking this drink. It seemed like a new drink, however it has been around since the 1940’s. This drink is originally from Britain.

2 parts Lemon Juice

1 part Pimm’s No. 1

Splash of 7UP

cucumber Slices

Shake together lemon juice and Pimm’s. Pour mixture into a frosted 10-12 ounce Collins glass filled with ice. Top off with 7UP, garnish with cucumber, and serve with a straw.

Enjoy!!!
