New Year's Punch

Punches are a great way to serve a crowd while still having the time to enjoy your own party.  This punch is based loosely on a French 75 cocktail and makes use of the terrific new Tattersall Pommeau apple brandy.  The Pommeau is very apple forward, and provides a deep flavor reminiscent of cider.  The orange liqueur, lemon, and sparkling wine add a bright effervescence.


Recipe:

  • 6 oz apple brandy (we used Tattersall Pommeau)
  • 1 ½ oz orange liqueur (we used Tattersall Orange Crema)
  • 3 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 oz rich simple syrup (2 parts sugar, 1 part water)
  • 1 bottle dry sparkling wine  (we used Bechtold Cremant d'Alsace)
  • Instructions:

In order, combine all ingredients in a large punch bowl.  Stir gently to combine.  Serves 6-8 people.

St. Genevieve is a "buvette," or French bar where drinks and refreshments are sold.  The focus is on Champagne and other French sparkling wines, along with Parisian small plates, mains, and pastries.
