Marekv8 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 A friend and I took over libations duties at an annual Christmas Eve party and whipped up this beauty-- taken from Ted Haigh’s “Vintage Spirits & Forgotten Cocktails” book. We tested six different Jamaican rums, four Maraschino liquors and four Cognacs to come up with the following mix. It proved to be absolutely delicious and a huge hit at the party. Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Black Rum Mezan Jamaica 2000 Rum Martell VSOP (a couple of 12+ year old bottles I had at the shop-- both corks fell apart while opening) Maraska Maraschino Giffard Orgeat Fever Tree Club Soda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanstaafl2 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 It is a nice punch although I tend to cut back on the sugar a bit. No champagne/sparkling wine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, yes-- we used Jean Vullien Crémant de Savoie. The hostess saved me a 500mL bottle of the core mix sans soda and sparkling, so I can enjoy it again for New Year's Eve.
