Day 24 - Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar - Milk Punch & Cookies. Santa loves his milk and cookies, but on this Christmas Eve he takes his glass of milk and turns it into the perfect cocktail, a juicy, rum-based clarified milk punch Milk Punch & Cookies - 1⁄2 pineapple diced into 1” chunks - 2 blood oranges zest and juice - 2 lemons zest and juice - 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar - 5 cardamom pods - 1 cinnamon stick - 1 star anise - 3 whole cloves - 10 coriander seeds - 1⁄2 cup brewed hibiscus tea - 2 cups boiling water - 1⁄2 cup St-Rémy Signature - 1 cup Mount Gay Black Barrel Double Cask Blend - 1⁄2 cup white rum - 1⁄2 cup Pernod - 2 cups whole milk - Garnish: hibiscus flower in syrup - Add the lemon zest and juice, orange zest and juice, pineapple, sugar, and spices to a large mixing bowl (one with a spout is ideal) and muddle the sugar and fruit together. Add the hibiscus tea and boiling water and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the spirits and mix together. - In a separate large mixing bowl, add the whole milk. Then pour the punch mixture into the milk and stir. The mixture will curdle. Let sit for about 30 minutes and strain through a fine mesh sieve. - Clean the sieve and line with a coffee filter or cheesecloth, pass the mixture through the lined sieve to strain again. At this point the mixture should be almost entirely clear. If any cloudy bits remain, strain one more time. Transfer to bottles or jars and store in the refrigerator. - Pour into a rocks glass over one large ice cube. Garnish with a hibiscus flower in syrup. #letsgetblitzen #tasteandtipple #cocktails #imbibegram #mixology #adventcalendar #craftcocktails #thirsty #ottawabloggers #madeincocktails #artofdrinks #advancedmixology #craftedmixology #drinkstagram #feedfeedcocktails @thefeedfeed.cocktails #mixology #liqpic #thecocktailbible #cocktailacademy #tw50bc #cocktailphotograph#boozeblogger #myfavouritecocktail #milkpunch
