ingredients
- 3⁄4 lb sugar
- 1 quart lemon juice
- 2 quarts jamaican rum
- 1 quart cognac
- 4 ounces peach brandy
- 1 1⁄2 quarts water
- ice, large block
directions
- Dissolve 3/4 pound of sugar with just enough water for the purpose, add 1 quart lemon juice, and let these steep together for about 1 hour.
- In a separate container, preferably a large jug, blend 2 quarts Jamaica rum, 1 quart cognac, and 4 ounces peach brandy, diluted with about 1 1/2 quarts water. Cover the jug tightly to prevent evaporation and let the liquors steep.
- Merge these two mixtures in a punch bowl containing a large block of ice. With an occasional gentle stir, let them brew for 2 hours. Taste for strength; if insufficiently diluted, add water. On a warm day, the melting ice will need little assistance if any. In wintry weather, it might need a quart.

Hello fellow cooks-I am on OBGYN doctor and I am new to this website.
. I love RecipeZaar since there are so many, easy, delicious, tested recipes. Between myself and my boyfriend, we have 5 children so there is always someone hungry-the family is so happy about the new, freshly cooked foods that have been gracing our table as of late.
Gardening- here in south florida we have lots of tropical fruit trees - is another hobby that I enjoy.
We love scuba diving too.
Recently, I did a tandem parachute jump.
