Fish House Punch

Hi All,

Well we survived Thanksgiving. Now interested in plans for Christmas, etc. Menu's, libations, books reading or read, music played.

Ran across the Fish House Punch recipe that Dada ( shall we switch that to Dad now, following Westport conversations on the topic). Also saw this today in the Wall Street Journal with it's own recipe. Dad(a)'s that he got from Dr. Loyal Davis (who was the father of Nancy Regan) is as follows: 2 quarts Jamaican Rum, 1 quart Cognac, 1 quart lemon juice, 2 quarts water, 1 wine glass peach brandy, 3/4 pounds sugar. Mix, and put in large punch bowl with one large block of ice frozen earlier.

There is a new wonderful book on punches, by David Wondrich, who has been writing about the classical cocktail, etc.
