The Palaver Punch always reminds me of old friends. But this is a flexible holiday punch that works with many different gins; the important thing is palavering with folks you care for. The word palaver describes something needlessly overcomplicated, but one could argue that punch’s complexity isn’t needless. This punch is sweetened with a rich demerara sugar syrup, which means a syrup made from two parts demerara sugar to one part water (as opposed to a simple syrup which is equal parts). The rich syrup will keep for up to a month in the fridge and can be used to sweeten a wide range of alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks.
