This is my favorite of the Planter's Punch series of punches. Oddly there's no Southern Comfort in this punch, which is a New Orleans local spirit. It does do a very New Orleans cocktail tribute with bourbon, Pernod, Peychaud's bitters and cognac, which makes it taste a little like a Sazerac. Pernod in these small proportions just gives a tropical flavor that is hard to identify and passes as some strange bitter fruit or cherry juice. Guess what? It's wormwood flavor.
This punch recipe doesn't call for a pineapple spear or cherry, but when you've got it, flaunt it.
- 2 oz. gold rum
- 1 oz. bourbon
- 1 oz. cognac
- 1/4 tsp. Pernod
- 5 dashes Peychaud's bitters
- 1/2 oz. simple syrup
- 1 oz. lemon juice
- club soda
- lime slice
- orange slice
Combine liquid ingredients except soda in a shaker with ice. Shake and pour into a highball glass or beer mug and top with club soda. Garnish with fruit.
