Today we’re making the St. Charles Punch! This New Orleans classic is an easygoing, anytime drink. You might see it pop up during the holidays, but since it’s served over crushed ice, it’s just as refreshing on a warm afternoon. My version keeps things simple with an even split of port and cognac, plus a small dash of absinthe for a little extra depth. It’s not in the classic specs, but I think it’s a fitting nod to the drink’s New Orleans roots. Hope you enjoy this one. Cheers!
