I recently checked out America Eats Tavern's monthly cocktail class featuring brandy. The class was conducted by Lead Bartender, Owen Thomson. During the class, we took an historical look at the way we drink. Brandy is one of the older distilled spirits and one of the most heavily regulated products in the world. The word brandy actually comes from the Dutch word for burnt wine.
We started the class by making milk punch 2 ways. Both were finished with nutmeg.
Brandy Milk Punch
1 shot Clear Creek Brandy
1 ounce milk
.75 ounce simple syrup
2 dashes vanilla extract
Garnish: grated nutmeg
Shake and strain into a snifter.
Find out more about brandy and Franklin's Milk Punch recipe next week on Thinking of Drinking. The class was super fun!
