Fish House Punch Recipe

ok here is the story about this drink lol.................a favorite of colonial times ..................................... One day some years ago a "long-liner" (a fisherman for halibut and salmon) who was also a regular customer at the restaurant asked me if I had ever heard of Fish House Punch. Read more I hadn't, that I could recall. He briefly described it and asked if I would serve such a punch to him and his fishermen friends each year when they returned home, the season being over and a cause for their annual celebration. Once a year since then, the lounge has been home to a group of about 15 long-liners and their wives. The Fish House Punch is always ready for them. A Fish House Punch is a very old punch recipe from the East Coast dating back to at least the late 1700's, as far as I can determine. The original version of a Fish House Punch was created for an annual get-together around Christmas time with the ladies also invited. The purpose of the punch was to please the ladies and make them even livelier than normal. (Some things, I think, never change.) These annual affairs (oops) were apparently quite successful, or should I say the punch recipe performed well? serves 20 people 2 glasses each ...................... courtesy of the fish house See less
