Fish House Punch
Where, if you go to lunch,
They'll make you forget your mother-in-law
With a drink called Fish-House Punch.
Original Fish House Punch Recipe:
A batch consists of:
30 limes, cut in half and squeezed, such pulp as gets through is fine
15 lemons, treat as above
This constitutes a "Part" for measuring the rest of the ingredients:
1 Part dark rum
2 Parts light rum... Use a reasonable quality!
1 Part brandy
1 Part brown sugar
1 Part water, in the form of a block of ice
Put sugar into a suitable container that has a lid. Gently work the citrus into the sugar until wetted out and then add the rest of the ingredients.
Ease the ice into the container gently as we do not want to waste any of this precious stuff! Gently "bail" the mix over the ice, cap it and repeat this every couple of hours until time to serve it.
This is the most important part: do the preparation and mixing early in the morning the day of the party and mix the ingredients every few hours to "mellow" them together into what will be a most refreshing punch. It is most proper to sample the batch each time it is mixed, to monitor the manner in which the materials are melding together. The recipe may be further diluted with strong tea as needed.
