Wikipedia

  1. Milk punch

    Milk punch is a milk-based brandy or bourbon beverage. It consists of milk, the spirit, sugar, and vanilla extract. It is served cold and usually has nutmeg sprinkled on top.

Wikidata

  1. Milk punch

    Milk punch is a milk based brandy or bourbon beverage. It consists of milk, brandy, sugar, and vanilla extract. It is served cold, and usually has nutmeg sprinkled on top. It is common in New Orleans, and was traditional on holidays throughout the Deep South. There are two variations: a punch bowl drink and a glass drink. The former is known since 1600s-1700, with the recipe aimed at drink stability: the cream was curdled and strained out. It was attributed to Aphra Behn at the time. The latter variation, with fresh milk/cream, is more lush. A yet another variation, "egg milk punch" is actually eggnog. Milk punch also refers to a hot Irish drink, scáiltín, made of equal parts hot whiskey and milk. It may be flavored with melted butter, sugar, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg or cloves.
