History

A traditional New Orleans hangover cure, this beats a standard vanilla milkshake. Do not dry shake a Milk Punch, as this produces something reminiscent of an Egg Nog.

This classic cocktail was popular during America's Prohibition era and dates back to colonial times. It remains a popular choice in New Orleans, frequently enjoyed with Sunday brunch.
