Hot Molasses Milk Punch Recipes

Steps:

• Combine sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat; let cool.
• Combine milk, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, bourbon, 1 cup ice, and 2/3 cup simple syrup (reserve remaining for another use) in a blender. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Serve up in a chilled coupe or over ice in a rocks glass, spooning foam over the top. Sprinkle with nutmeg; serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine the sugar, 1 tablespoon water, the molasses, and the ginger, and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring. Add the milk in a stream, whisking, and heat the mixture over moderate heat, stirring until it is hot, but do not let it boil. Stir in the rum, divide the mixture between 2 heated mugs, and sprinkle each drink with some of the nutmeg.

Steps:

• In a punch bowl whisk together the molasses and the ginger, whisk in the milk, the half-and-half, the rum, the brandy, and chill the punch, covered, for at least four hours, or until it is very cold. Serve the punch in punch glasses and sprinkle it with the nutmeg.

Steps:

• Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat, frothing it with a whisk until it is quite hot but not boiling. Whisk in the sugar. Remove from the heat and stir in the bourbon. Pour into a heatproof mug and grate a small amount of fresh nutmeg atop the foam. Serves one.
