Ingredients: 3/4
gallon
Water 3 1/2
cups
Brown Sugar 18
Lemons,
rind grated, juiced
2
liters
Jamaica Rum 1
liter
Brandy 5/8
cup
Peach Brandy
Ice Directions:
Make a syrup with the water and brown sugar and pour it hot over the rind and strained juice of the lemons. Cool. Add the rum and brandy and dash well with peach brandy to make it mellow and extra fine. Serve in a bowl of crushed ice.
This recipe is an old one in the Taylor Family of Norfolk, Virginia. By using 3 1/3 pounds (1.5 kg) of brown sugar, this punch may be prepared for bottling and will improve with age. To serve immediately, some add 1 liter of pineapple juice instead of 1 liter of water.
