Jackson Punch 

Previous Posts

By Jolana Smith

Jackson Punch! I mean let's be honest, anything with the word "punch" has to be good!  Although this isn't for kids.

2 oz. Pierre Ferrand 1840 Original Formula Cognac
1 oz. aged rum
¾ oz. fresh lemon juice
½ oz. simple syrup (1:1)
½ oz. raspberry syrup (see below to make)

2 oz of water & Ice cubes
Tools: shaker, strainer
Glass: Collins or snifter
Garnish: fresh raspberries and half an orange wheel

Fill a shaker with ice, add ingredients and shake well. Strain into an ice-filled Collins glass and garnish. Add a straw and serve.

For the raspberry syrup: Stir 2 cups of demerara sugar and 1 cup of water over low heat until sugar has dissolved. Add a cup of raspberries, stirring until the berries form a pulp. Strain into a jar and refrigerate. Over time, the pectin will rise to the surface and can be skimmed off.
