1 bar spoon Stirrings Ginger
4 dashes Peychauds Bitters

When entertaining lots of guests, try whipping up a batch of Maker’s Mark Fancy Bourbon Punch.
Fancy Bourbon Punch
1 liter Maker's Mark
1 cup granulated sugar
Peels of 3 lemons & 1 orange
Juice of peeled fruit
1 liter of strong tea (preferably green tea)
250 ml champagne (club soda can be used for a less fancy version)
Freshly grated nutmeg
Method
1. Combine sugar & citrus peels in the bottom of a punch bowl. Muddle together until sugar starts to clump together. Let sit for about 2 hours, (while not necessary, this does add a little complexity)
2. Brew the tea for about 30 minutes, remove loose tea or tea bags & allow to cool
3. Add the juice of the peeled fruit, tea & Bourbon, then stir
4. Top with Champagne just before serving & stir gently. Top with freshly grated nutmeg & serve
