This is a wonderful cocktail for the Christmas Holiday, and especially for brunch, if you’re into that sort of thing. This is kind of an eggless, Egg Nog, and I really like the consistency, not too thick, not too thin. I used to make a whole pitcher of this for our annual Christmas party, but now I just make them to order as I’ve done here. You could also substitute Brandy for the Bourbon. The Recipe:
Bourbon Milk Punch Recipe
2 oz. Good Quality Bourbon (I like Maker’s Mark)
A dash of Vanilla Extract
1/2 oz. Simple Syrup
1 oz. Heavy Cream
2 oz. Whole Milk
1/4 of 1 Egg White
Add the contents to a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice. Shake until good and frothy. Serve in a frosted glass. Garnish with:
Freshly Grated Nutmeg
Makes 1 Cocktail.

Calculating a punch bowl full is a real challenge. Apackage of vanilla ice cream should be incorporated along with some brandy.
