This year, enliven your holiday party with a delicious, historic punch!
Punch is a time-honored tradition in New York, past due for a revival. According to The Lights and Shadows of New York Life published 1873: ”Punch is seen in all its glory on [New Year's] day, and each household strives to have the best of this article. There are regular punch-makers in the city, who reap a harvest at this time. Their services are engaged long before-hand, and they are kept busy all morning going from house to house, to make this beverage, which is no-where so palatable as in this city.”
In this class, we'll demo and drink, giving you the chance to make and taste three wintery punches. You'll learn how to make Charles Dickens' own recipe for an impressive, flaming-hot punch; we'll discuss the safety concerns regarding eggnog and look at several contemporary and antiquated recipes; and we'll try apple alcohol based cocktails that take advantage of holiday flavors and local ingredients.
