A nice, lighter, alternative to egg nog.

This is my variation on a fairly rare classic - the milk punch. It’s nice, lighter, alternative to egg nog.

  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1.5 oz white rum (I used Appleton)
  • .5 oz Cruzan Black Strap (Or other very black rum)
  • 4 oz milk


Shake well with ice, till foamy.

Serve with nutmeg + cinnamon dashed on the top.
