Here's one more while I have your attention. The first drink served during "Brigands, Barons & Beachcombers: The Many Faces of Planter's Punch," hosted by Jeff "Beachbum" Berry and Brian Miller. This was Mr. Miller's contribution ...

FATHER LABAT’S PUNCH
(Inspired by Pere Jean-Baptiste Labat, circa 1694)
Reinterpreted by Brian Miller

¾ oz lime juice
¾ oz cane syrup
1 tsp Don’s Spices #2
1 oz MarketSpice tea
2 oz The Real McCoy 12 rum (sub any good aged Barbados rum)

  • Shake & pour into a rocks glass. Garnish with a lime wheel spiked with 3 cloves, grated nutmeg and a cinnamon stick (grated to release aromatics).

MarketSpice tea: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00029KOVO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1GKR2AQDPC9QQ&coliid=I1H730SB46BN6R

An excellent drink that helped introduce the old concept of using tea in cocktails. Brian found the MarketSpice on a trip to Seattle and correctly surmised that its orange-cinnamon flavor would work well in a cocktail.

If you have "Potions of the Caribbean," you'll find the Bum's reinterpretation of Father Labat's Punch, which dates back to a 1694 recipe by the "fightin' friar," Pere Jean-Baptiste Labat. It's a great story, one of many in the book that resurfaced in the symposium.
