If you’ve never had a milk punch I urge you to make one, it’s an absolutely awesome dessert cocktail made with Bourbon or brandy, milk and/or cream, vanilla extract, sugar and a smidgen of nutmeg. It may look like a winter drink but it’s actually great any time of the year!
Apparently the milk punch has been around for centuries but it is new to me, I came across it for the first time a few weeks ago. Being a big cream and (more recently) also Bourbon fan I had to try it and, unsurprisingly, I loved it. It’s creamy, sweet, boozy and thanks to the ice it’s quite refreshing at the same time.
Bourbon Milk Punch
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon cream
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 tablespoons simple syrup
- 2.5 tablespoons Bourbon
- 1 pinch of grated nutmeg
Instructions:
- Mix milk, cream, vanilla and syrup together.
- Mix in the Bourbon, then pour into a glass, sprinkle with nutmeg and serve with 2 ice cubes.

From time to time I am having this fancy, creamy, delicious, splendid drink. Absolutely worth trying :)
Beautiful photos, indeed!
I think this was a classic Southern drink that was very popular around Christmas. Of course I would love this any time!
I completely agree, it’s good any time!
Love this Nicole. I haven’t had bourbon in ages. But have some in the cupboard. Love that there’s no fancy ingredients required too. Gorgeous shot.
Thank you, Debs! I love the everyday, always-in-the-house ingredient list too, when I came across the recipe I thought “I can make that right now!”
So gorgeous Nicole, I love creamy cocktails like this. White Russians and brandy alexanders are two of my favourite drinks!
This looks really similar to a brandy alexander. I love the colour in this photo it’s great.
Thank you, Angela! It is very similar to a Brandy Alexander, some recipes are actually identical but I’ve also seen a few that add creme de cacao to the Alexander. (Need to get a bottle of creme de cacao, I’ve never had it but sounds delicious). :)
Wow, no I have not had milk punch but I don’t plan on being able to say that for long, lol. This is so delicious! I just love the coloring in this photo, so calm and classy. Take care.
Thank you, Stacey! It is a really delicious drink, I think I’ll have to make it again tonight… :)
This looks so inviting, Nicole! Gorgeous photo…
Thank you, Marissa! :)
My parents enjoyed their Milk Punch 40 years ago, especially around the holidays. Fun to see it back en vogue. As always, a stunning photograph. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Kim!! I can’t believe I had never heard of milk punch, it’s so right up my alley. :)
Absolutely stunning and elegant photo, Nicole!! Never heard of the drink, but now I really wanna try it!
Thank you so much, Shinee!! It is my new favorite drink, so delicious and satisfying. :)
