Midnight Milk Punch - Lenka's suggestion from Paris

Hi Lenka,
thank you so much for your suggestion! Your Midnight Milk Punch reminded me of the legendary Eggnog, Cary Grant offered so adorably in "The Awful Truth". Only that in all the years I tried to serve the Eggnog all my guests denied in favour of some more transparent liquids.
But you won't believe it: just mentioning your name  (so much cooler than Cary Grant!), everybody
has been keen to try it.
Big hugs and kisses and a very happy New Year (I'm sure it will be, because now we entered The Age of Aquarius!)

Chin chin!

#6 Intro To Awesome Punch

Our new favourite from now!

As I'm convinced that the malevolent Ehec germ lives neither in spanish cucumbers nor in our regional vegetables, I fancied trying a cocktail with fresh cucumbers. The Intro To Awesome Punch has been created by Jane Danger, head bartender at Cienfuegos, a spin-off from the owners of Death and Co., a cocktailbar located in the East Village of Manhattan.

The Punch mixes best while listening to this music

How to mix:

1 1/2 parts dry white Rum

1 part Aperol

1part fresh lime juice

1/2 part sugar syrup

3 cucumber wheels

Club Soda

salt

Muddle the cucumber wheels and sugar syrup in a mixing glass. Add rum, Aperol and lime juice. Shake and strain over ice into a cocktail glass. Top with soda and a pinch of salt (I prefer it without salt..). Garnish with a cucumber wheel.

We tried it with soda and without, on icecubes and without.  It's always AWESOME!
