Description

The appeal of Parlour Room Punch is immediate: it has a strong flavour direction without becoming complicated. The recipe combines Vodka, Cassis Vermouth, Orange Liqueur, and Aromatic Bitters. Dilution matters here: enough water opens the aromatics and softens the edges, while over-dilution would flatten the character of the spirit and modifiers.

It suits an unhurried evening, a pre-dinner pour or a late-night drink when you want something composed rather than flashy. Use fresh ice and serve promptly so the texture and aroma arrive at their best.

Ingredients

  • 35 ml Vodka
  • 20 ml Cassis Vermouth

  4. Finish with a fresh garnish that matches the fruit or citrus in the drink.
