Bourbon Milk Punch

By stancec44

Egg nog this is not. It’s less rich, not so cloying, lacks hard-and-fast rules about a shower of nutmeg, and doesn’t flirt with the potential for a nasty salmonella situation. As such, it’s eminently easier to quaff than nog. It’s a lot more like a milkshake.

Ingredients

• 4 cups milk, preferably whole milk
• 1 cup Kentucky bourbon
• 1/4 cup vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup simple syrup
• 1 pint vanilla ice cream
• Ground nutmeg or cinnamon, if desired

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine the milk, bourbon, vanilla, simple syrup, and ice cream in a blender for about 8 seconds. Pour into cups or mugs or glasses of some sort. Sprinkle with the nutmeg or cinnamon, if desired.
