History

Bénédictine adds saffron flavour and yellow colour; maraschino contributes fruit. Champagne adds dryness, effervescence and body.

This recipe is adapted from one discovered in 2014 at Hawksmoor Spitalfields in London, England. It is understood that this, in turn, originates from a punch that was served at New York's Waldorf-Astoria during the 1930s.
