Cocktail Description
The Roman Punch delivers a spiritual experience—a potent yet balanced cocktail where centuries-old French herbal liqueur meets Caribbean rum strength.
This striking golden drink combines the honey-sweet botanical complexity of Bénédictine with the refined oak notes of Hennessy cognac, all electrified by the unmistakable punch of Wray & Nephew's overproof rum. Fresh lemon juice cuts through the sweetness, creating a surprisingly refreshing sip despite its formidable alcohol content. It's straightforward to make but requires careful measuring—the overproof rum demands respect and proper dilution. The Roman Punch shines at sunset gatherings or as a memorable nightcap, particularly in warmer months when its bright citrus notes feel most welcome. For food pairings, try spicy Caribbean dishes where the cocktail's sweetness provides counterbalance, or alongside rich desserts featuring caramelized fruits or dark chocolate.
