Victorian Gin Punch image

Here is a punch to mix with the more flavorful American gins, from a recipe provided to The Times by the drinks historian David Wondrich. His cocktails are light and summery, and a refreshing change from the usual gin and tonic. This recipe makes 20 servings.

Categories     cocktails

Yield About 20 three-ounce servings.

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 lemons
3/4 cup sugar
1 750-milliliter bottle gin
1/2 cup orange liqueur
1 liter seltzer, chilled.

Steps:

  • Use a vegetable peeler to peel long strips of pith-free skin from the lemons. Place peels in a bowl, add sugar, muddle vigorously and allow to steep 2 to 3 hours. Juice lemons to obtain 3/4 cup. Pour lemon juice over peels and stir to dissolve sugar. Transfer to a 3-quart pitcher half-filled with ice.
  • Add gin, liqueur and seltzer. Stir and pour into punch cups or short-stemmed glasses, and serve.
