Pandora’s Punch !

Punch is the origin for modern cocktails and is considered to be the earliest cocktail dating to 1632. Widely used as a restorative, punch helped sailors survive long voyages due to the citrus which protected from scurvy. As trade expanded, rarefied ingredients were incorporated into punch. 

This recipe pays homage to the history and creativity of the early punch recipes and celebrates the ritual of sharing a drink with loved ones around the holidays. This recipe serves 8 – 10 and features refreshing cucumber with a snap of ginger on the finish.

Ingredients:

1 cup lemon juice

1 cup simple syrup

10 oz Rasasvada Ruby Artemisia

10 oz Rasasvada Rose Bergamot

1 oz Gin or spirit of choice

Top with ginger beer

Garnish with seasonal fruits and herbs

Method: Mix all ingredients in a large punch bowl, serve over ice in individual glasses and garnish with mint, cucumber, and citrus of choice.

JustLuxe Explores Marialva, Portugal and Salamanca, Spain

The Rio Douro roughly translates from Portuguese as “(the) river of gold.” There is a time, late in the afternoon, as the sun sets, rays of light turn the blue-gray river into the color of liquid gold. Or, it may have to do with the color of Tawny Port, whose grapes are grown in abundance on the terraced hillside vineyards above the river. Or, it could be a combination…
