King Cake Milk Punch

Cinnamon and praline pecan-flavored milk punch for Carnival Season brunches and Parade Day sipping.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Cinnamon Simple Syrup, recipe follows
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 2 1/2 cups bourbon
  • 1 cup Evangeline's Praline Pecan Liqueur
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • Purple, green and gold sanding sugars for garnish
  • Freshly grated nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

Make Cinnamon Simple Syrup:
1/2 water
1/2 cup sugar
6 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
Combine water, sugar and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat. Do not allow to boil. Stir until sugar dissolves, about 3 minute; simmer about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to infuse for 6 hours. Discard cinnamon and transfer to a jar. Keep covered and chilled, up to 1 week.

In a pitcher or punch bowl, combine milk and cream. Stir in bourbon, praline liqueur, vanilla and 1/2 cup cinnamon syrup. Taste and add more milk or sweetener as desired. Refrigerate until chilled.

For garnish: Rub the rims of rocks glasses with simple syrup. Sprinkle each sugar onto a plate. Roll into sugars to stick.

Serve over ice and grate nutmeg over the top.
