Ever wondered how far one lunatic could take the pumpkin spice craze? Clarified milk punch has been around since at least the early 1700s, and if there’s one thing I’m a sucker for, it’s infusing new flavors into old recipes. This was a lot of work but the reaction I’ve had from friends has made it worth it. This video was made with deepest thanks and sincerest apologies to Binging With Babish, Joshua Weissman, and Cocktail Chemistry.
Pumpkin Spice Clarified Milk Punch
Combine:
2 lemon peels
3oz/90ml sugar
Rest 24 hours
In a separate container:
15oz/425g can of pumpkin purée
1 tblspn/15ml pumpkin spice
Pinch salt
750ml bourbon
Rest 24 hours, stirring occasionally
Measure 750ml water, and add some to the lemon/sugar mixture sufficient to dilute. Discard peels and combine the remainder of the water with the bourbon/pumpkin spice mix. Stir and rest one hour.
Strain, strain, strain, and refrigerate. For optimal clarity let rest one week and syphon off clear liquid.
