Variations of milk punch have been enjoyed around the world for centuries, but this creamy version is what's most popular in the deep South, specifically New Orleans. Traditionally, milk punch is a combination of milk, a spirit (usually a brown or aged spirit like rum, brandy, bourbon, or whiskey), and vanilla. The ratio for milk punch is 3 parts half-and-half, 1 ½ parts liquor, and 1 part vanilla simple syrup. Change up the sweetness as well; a batch of the vanilla simple syrup make enough for 8 glasses of milk punch. But the truth is, this milk punch makes a great nightcap, too.
