Tips
- Use high-quality brandy for the best flavor profile—a good VS or VSOP cognac works wonderfully.
- Ensure your milk is fresh and cold for optimal texture and taste.
- Shake vigorously to create a frothy, well-integrated drink with a smooth consistency.
- Chill your glasses beforehand to keep the punch colder for longer.
- Freshly grated nutmeg makes a significant difference compared to pre-ground spices—invest in whole nutmeg if possible.
- For a more indulgent version, you can substitute half-and-half for milk to increase richness.
- Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the drink at its peak temperature and frothiness.
