Milk punch is a tasty, creamy, milk based cocktail made with brandy, bourbon or cognac. Serve strained in a pretty coupe glass or make a pitcher and serve over ice for a crowd. It's perfect for the holidays and makes a great brunch drink.
Fill the shaker with ice. Add the brandy or cognac, milk, gingerbread syrup and light creme de cacao if using. Seal the shaker and vigorously shake for 20-30 seconds until icy cold.
Strain the cocktail into a coupe glass and garnish.
FOR A PITCHER OF MILK PUNCH:
Combine the ingredients in a large pitcher, cover and chill until very cold.
When you're ready to serve, give the milk punch a quick stir and pour into old-fashioned glasses over ice. Garnish as desired and serve.
