Cocktail Description

The The Prince of Wales Punch delivers a symphony of complex flavors that dance between bright tropical fruit and deep aged spirits.

This luxurious cocktail combines fresh muddled pineapple with Hennessy Cognac and Appleton Estate rum for a sophisticated base, while Grand Marnier and Luxardo add complementary citrus and cherry notes. The float of 20-year tawny port creates a beautiful layered presentation and contributes rich dried fruit flavors that transform as you sip. Though it requires several premium ingredients and careful technique to achieve the perfect port float, the The Prince of Wales Punch rewards your effort with a beautifully balanced drink that's both refreshing and complex. Serve this showstopper at upscale dinner parties or special celebrations when you want to impress discerning guests. The cocktail pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, particularly seared scallops or shrimp with tropical fruit salsa, as the caramelized flavors complement the aged spirits while the sweetness balances the fruit components.
