Part 2/7:
The charm of beer cocktails doesn’t often captivate modern cocktail enthusiasts, but this Victorian beverage comes alive through an age-old recipe found in "Fancy Drinks and Popular Beverages" by The Only William, published in 1896.
The ingredients for beer punch include:
One quart (or one liter) of beer - a dark ale or porter serves as a flavorful base.
A heaping half cup (about 115 grams) of sugar - raw sugar can add a rich touch.
One cinnamon stick - for a warm and inviting aroma.
Four eggs - to create a frothy texture.
Two ounces of old Jamaica rum - a dark rum elevates the flavor profile.
The Recipe
Start by pouring the beer into a pot and mix in the sugar with a spatula.
Add the cinnamon stick before bringing the mixture to a simmer.
