Hey, I'm Jocelyn and this is Sandra and today's drink is something a little bit funky that you're not going to find at just any old bar
0:08
This is a milk punch and I have been waiting for this for a minute
0:13
I absolutely think this is a really cool drink and actually most of this stuff you probably already have in your house
0:19
The only funky thing in it is that we use a whole nutmeg
0:24
Actually, we don't use the whole nutmeg. That would be a little bit too much
0:28
But we are going to grate a whole nutmeg. If you only have nutmeg that's already ground, you can do it
0:34
It's just when you do it yourself, it's just going to take it up a little bit
0:38
So feel free to substitute in a pinch of just the ground
0:43
The ground, right. Absolutely. But you're going to get a lot more aroma and a lot more flavor out of the whole
0:48
Out of the. And when you see how easy it is, you're going to want to do it anyway. Right
0:52
So what we're going to do is start with our shaker, which has been preloaded with ice
0:57
How did that happen? It's like the cocktail elves came at the night
1:02
I'm the cocktail elf. Alright, so it's called a milk punch. We going to use half and half because we don play right Whole milk works Cream would work although cream would be really really really decadent
1:22
This already has about one trillion calories. I'm just going to tell you. But I wouldn't use skim milk, right
1:30
If you don't want to use half and half, you can use whole milk
1:34
It'll save you some calories. It'll cost you some taste. But you can do it
1:39
And this is not your everyday drink. This is something you're going to want to make for a celebratory occasion
1:45
You're every now and then. And you're not going to drink a pile of them. Hopefully
1:50
Maybe you are because they taste really good. So you're doing four ounces of half and half
1:55
Four ounces of half and half. Can I say this? That if you don't have half and half at home, but you happen to be a whole milk family like we are
2:03
whole milk and skim milk together makes half and half. No whole milk and cream
2:09
Cream and cream. Cream and skin milk makes half and half. Skin milk has no business in half and half
2:17
Whole milk and cream make half and half. All right, I disagree
2:24
You can be wrong. I can't, I'm gonna be wrong. So I putting two ounces of bourbon Four ounces of half and half Forget trying to make your own because she mad at me Two ounces of bourbon One ounce of simple syrup This might be the only drink that Sandra really
2:46
loves that has a pile of sugar in it, right? It's a lot of sugar. For you, that's a lot. It's also a lot of cream
2:52
I mean, so far we've got six ounces of liquid in this drink, so it's a pretty large, healthy drink anyway
2:58
Okay. And then I'm going to put, I don't know why I keep saying this. I'm going to like, I don't need any more
3:03
We're just going to put a teaspoon of vanilla. So I go heavy on vanilla, but that's because I think vanilla is like, I don't know, it's one of my favorite flavors
3:14
And so I would probably put a little extra. I mean, I'm not going to disagree
3:19
Can I tell you a little story about the nutmeg? I actually sent Mark out for nutmeg the other day and I was like, just get a whole nutmeg
3:27
he came home with two bags of nutmegs and in each bag had like four or five nuts
3:33
i was like so now we have nutmegs for like the rest of our lives there's there's no way i'm gonna
3:40
use that many nuts ever maybe he a good one of these things right i gonna give him his gifts So for Christmas this year just y look forward to getting nutmegs Strain this up or neat or without
4:00
ice or sans ice or sans blasse, depending on. So pretty. She's been taking French classes
4:08
Can you tell? I can't tell. It is such a lovely, it's kind of foamy. I can smell it already
4:16
I know, it's nice. This drink is particularly associated with New Orleans
4:22
I love the Commander's Palace, in my opinion, is the end for a really good milk punch
4:30
But you can get them all over the city. Quit talking. Give me the drink. Simmer down. I might not even let you try this one because I love it that much
4:37
Go ahead. I know this is one of her absolute favorites. Is it better than the French 75
4:44
It's just so good. This is celebratory. It is this
4:55
You always use the word luxurious, but I think that this is really a luxurious drink
4:59
and you should totally try one of these. So for more recipes like this, see us next Friday
5:05
We will have another drink for you. Until then, have a milk punch. Cheers. Bye
