AdInstructions
- Oleo saccharum:
- Combine the orange peel, grapefruit peel, bay leaves, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon sticks, pomegranate molasses and sugar in a bowl.
- Cover and leave at room temperature, up to 4 hours, until the sugar has dissolved.
- Punch base:
- Transfer the oleo saccharum to a larger container. Add the vodka, cranberry juice, lime juice, port wine and triple sec, and stir thoroughly.
- Let the mixture rest for 1 hour.
- Strain through a fine sieve into a clean bowl to remove all solids.
- Clarifying with milk:
- Warm the milk in a separate bowl.
- Gently stir the strained punch into the warm milk until curds form clearly.
- Strain twice through cheesecloth set over a chinois, then once more through a coffee filter. The punch should come out clear with a pink-orange tint.
- Serving:
- Fill a highball glass with ice and pour in 60 ml of the clarified punch.
- Briefly flame an orange peel over the drink.
- Top with 60 ml tonic water.
- Garnish with the flamed orange peel and a bay leaf.
