History
Two traditional punches remain on today's cocktail lists: 'Rum Punch' and 'Hot Whisky Punch', now better known as the 'Hot Toddy'. The Gin Punch probably led to the creation of the Collins.
Long before the Martini, the V-shaped glass, or the cocktail shaker, punch was the preferred drink at society gatherings, with the punch bowl serving as the focal point of every party. More details about the history of Punch can be found on our Punch page.
