Milk Punch

drinks · bourbon · New Orleans · dessert

Creamy and boozy. Milk punch mixes milk with brandy or bourbon, sugar, and vanilla extract to create a smooth, cold drink that's kind of like a grown-up milkshake.

Served ice cold. This drink is always served chilled, and it's often topped with a sprinkle of nutmeg to add a warm, spicy flavor.

Clarification trick. Some milk punch recipes use ingredients that make the milk curdle on purpose, so the cloudy bits can be strained out and leave behind a clear, smooth drink.
