Recently I found this Victorian Christmas gin punch recipe by English Heritage, on YouTube, and I really wanted to surprise my English relatives when they join us for Christmas this year. This Christmas is so important to me because I haven’t seen my British relatives in so long, so I have been super busy finding recipes to make them feel really at home. Gin is such a classic drink, and this punch recipe is more of a cocktail than most punches, so it is great for a party.
Ingredients For The Victorian Christmas Gin Punch Recipe:
- 250 grams of brown sugar
- 7 lemons
- 750 ml. of gin
- 750 ml. of ginger wine
- 250 grams of honey
- A pinch of cloves
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of nutmeg
- Hot water
Directions:
In this Victorian Christmas gin punch recipe by English Heritage, on YouTube, you will learn to make this historic punch in a few easy steps. You begin by slicing all your lemons, then adding the honey, and the spices. Then, you will pour hot water over the lemon-honey mixture to bring out all of the oils from the lemons, and this will melt your honey down so you won’t have big clumps floating in the punch.
Then, you will add the gin and the ginger wine. It is really that easy to make this delicious classic punch that can be served warm or over ice.
