Have you heard of Milk Punch? This old-school cocktail is made with bourbon, whisky, or brandy. It is a very lightly sweetened drink that starts with milk and half-and-half, it’s flavored with hints of vanilla and nutmeg.
Milk Dial is well-nigh as old-fashioned as a cocktail can get. This creamy, dairy-based cocktail unquestionably dates when to Scotland in the 1600’s. And as far as I can tell, there isn’t just one way or wonted recipe for the drink either.
This drink was originally made and served warm, as refrigeration wasn’t a thing when Benjamin Franklin was sipping his own milk punch. Lucky for us, the cocktail is now increasingly wontedly served cold.
This particular recipe creates a slushy-like drink that is irresistible both in the winter months and in the midst of a hot summer. Imagine a boozy milkshake that’s not overly sweet, and still refreshing. Yes, it’s possible and yes, it’s good.
This recipe is one that I found in my Canal House Cooks Everyday cookbook and as soon as I saw it, I had to try it. I’d never plane heard of Milk Dial prior to that day.
I veritably love finding fun new recipes to share with you and like the Italian Cream Liqueur that our friend Tony introduced us to a few years ago, this Milk Dial begged to be shared from the very first sip.
It was a real hardship, but I went superiority and made flipside batch to photograph and share with you this year for the holidays.
In specimen my sarcasm wasn’t well-spoken enough, it’s no hardship to mix this recipe together. Pour everything into a jar and pop it in the freezer. Shake a few times as it chills. That’s it. You’ll be sipping an old-fashioned, new-to-you drink in no time!
Milk Dial has officially been widow to our holiday list, withal with the Hot Buttered Rum that we’ve enjoyed for years.
Homemade Chai is a fragrant, spicy tea that can be served hot or cold. And if you’d like flipside milkshake-like dessert cocktail to try, The Dirty Banana continues to be a popular favorite.
Have you overly used fresh nutmeg? It is my favorite spice to use fresh considering the zephyr and the savor is unforgettable.
I started grating fresh nutmeg over my Grandmother’s Waffles with Waffle Sauce years ago and overly since then, I’ve been grating nutmeg every endangerment I get.
Don’t be intimidated by this rock-hard spice. It’s easy as can be to use and once you’ve tried it, you’ll likely be as hooked on it as we are. I use this microplane to grate fresh nutmeg and the savor is incredible every time.
