I started derailing the Jasper's Jamaican thread with my Swedish Punsch questions and figured I'd revive this old thread. I did manage to pick up a bottle at Pogo's Wine in Dallas (thanks to all involved!) and it's pretty interesting stuff! I've seen it described as tasting like a smoky rum liqueur, and that's pretty much on the mark. Most of this thread has been dedicated to recipes for making your own Swedish Punsch, but now that we have a commercial bottling on the market, how about recipes for using Swedish Punsch? The first I made was the Doctor Cocktail (variation):
2 oz dark Jamaican rum
1 oz Swedish Punsch
1 oz fresh lime juice
Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass
It was great, but not unlike certain Caribbean or tiki drinks I'd tried before.
There are recipes posted online (see cocktaildb.com for almost 80 recipes), but has anyone come up with their own specifically tiki-oriented cocktails featuring this stuff? When I recover from my Dallas bender, I'll be experimenting a bit, hopefully with some results worth posting!
