Description
Don't be dissuaded by the name of this drink. I was for many years. Milk Punch is one of the good things in life. It mixes its top four ingredients, cream (we can call it milk for calorie purposes, if you like), bourbon, vanilla, and sugar. All in a compact, adult beverage. If you have not yet tried Milk Punch, your time has come.
