Title: Chatham Artillery Punch
Categories: Beverages, Booze, Wine, Citrus
Yield: 30 Servings
12 Lemons
2 c Light, raw sugar
750 ml Bottle cognac
750 ml Bottle bourbon
750 ml Bottle Jamaica rum
3 (750 ml) bottles Champagne
- or sparkling wine; chilled
5 lb (2 kg) bag cracked ice
Special equipment: large (2.5 gallon) punch bowl, empty 750
milliliter bottle
Using a vegetable peeler or paring knife, peel the lemons,
being careful to remove only the yellow peel and not the
bitter white pith.
Place the peels in a bowl, add the sugar and muddle to
combine. Set aside for at least half an hour, preferably an
hour, to let the flavors combine.
While the lemon peel is resting, juice the lemons to make
two cups lemon juice. After the lemon peel has rested, add
lemon juice to the bowl and stir until the sugar is
dissolved. Strain the mixture into an empty 750mL bottle.
Add water to the bottle to fill, seal it, give it a little
shake and refrigerate this shrub until you're ready to make
your punch.
To serve, fill your large (2.5 gallon) punch bowl with
cracked ice. (At this point, move your punch bowl to its
party-time location, as it will be very difficult to move
when it's full of punch.)
Pour the shrub and all of the bottles of cognac, bourbon,
rum and sparkling wine onto the ice. Stir to combine.
Serve.
