Philadelphia Fish House Punch (1.5 Gallons/~5.5 L)

There’s a reason the Philadelphia Fish House Punch has stuck around for centuries, and I have a real soft spot for this potent, surprisingly refreshing recipe. The magic isn't just the historic formula; it's the specific craft spirits you choose for your home bar. This collection gets it right. The Pierre Ferrand 1840 Cognac offers a solid, fruity foundation, while the Appleton Estate Signature provides that essential hint of Jamaican rum character without dominating the conversation. A splash of Laird's Straight Apple Brandy and the authentic stone fruit sweetness from Rothman & Winter’s peach liqueur create a complex, layered profile that just sings. As Anders Erickson, I’ve pulled these specific cocktail ingredients for the Bitter Bear spirits shop because this balance is exactly what I reach for. It’s a bit of spirited history, batched and ready for a good time.
