Garrick Club Punch

About The Garrick Club Punch Cocktail

Garrick Club Punch tasted as good in 1835 as it does today.

Lemons

¹⁄₂ cup

Superfine sugar

1 cup

Fresh lemon juice

750 ml

Gin

4 oz

24 oz

Seltzer water

Glass:

Peel the lemons with a vegetable peeler, avoiding the white pith.

Muddle the peels with the sugar in a 3-quart pitcher or punch bowl and let stand for 30 minutes.

Add the lemon juice and stir until the sugar has dissolved.

Add the gin and Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur or Grand Marnier, and stir.

Fill the pitcher or bowl halfway with ice and add the seltzer or club soda.

Stir again and serve in individual punch or highball glasses.

*Any type of gin will do, but I prefer a Dutch genever, such as Bols Genever, or an old Tom gin, such as Ransom Old Tom or Haymans Old Tom.
