Ebenezer’s Punch

This punch was loosely inspired by one Charles Dickens described in a letter to a friend back in 1847. The original involves fire and has slightly different ingredients, but I like the vaguely tropical thing this version has going and like to imagine Ebenezer Scrooge drinking it to celebrate his newfound love of Christmas.

INGREDIENTS

1½ oz. pineapple-infused rum
¾ oz. oloroso or amontillado sherry
¾ oz. lemon juice
1 oz.
lemon syrup
Grated nutmeg, for garnish


ABV LEVEL

Combine all in a shaker. Add plenty of ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain into a coupe or punch cup. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.
