Pointsetta Punch

2 oz Gin, Nolet's
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Allspice Dram
1⁄2 oz Cinnamon syrup (make 1:1 simple syrup infused with 1/2 t. cinnamon)
1⁄2 oz Grenadine
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 oz Tea (Black works best, make it nice & strong)
Instructions

Build drink in shaker or pitcher; add ice and shake or stir. Serve in a rocks glass filled with cracked ice (put cubes in a gallon ziplock, bash 'em). Garnish with lemon wheel.

Notes

A floral, lighter gin works best; Sapphire in a pinch. The allspice dram is home made, using infused allspice syrup and Everclear (20%). Pomegranate molasses would be a tart substitute for grenadine.

History

Made for my wife's holiday gathering...spicy, sweet, exotic and delicious!

  • All the attributes of a classic punch. I added tea so drinkers who prefer a lighter drink could enjoy it. By varying the gin used, or the type of bitters, one can vary the flavor profile of the finished drink.

Comments

Wonderful combination, have never used tea in a cocktail before... All I had was earl grey but it came out stunning. Also added 3/4 lemon instead of 1/2 Oz., would have been too sweet otherwise for my taste.
