PUNCHES
Punch in its oldest and simplest form is Rum and Water,
Hot or Iced, with sugar to taste and orange or lemon juice
(for Hot Punch) or fresh lime juice (for Cold Punch).
It was in 1655 when they took Jamaica from Spain that the
English were first introduced to Punch. During the I8th
Century this drink became very popular. It was"brewed"
or mixed at a table in a punchbowl by the host, with Rum
as one of the ingredients but other spirits as well. (One
of the other popular ones was Brandy when made with
hot water). Oranges and lemons in thin slices, grated
nutmeg and sundry decorations and flavouring to the taste
or discretion of the mixer.
