This delicious Bourbon milk punch version has more heavy cream than most recipes and makes an indulgent dessert cocktail. It's rich but not overly so because the deep and complex flavors of the Bourbon cut through the cream beautifully.

Bourbon milk punch in glasses and a bottle of Bourbon.

Recipe ingredients and notes:

Be sure to use whole milk and not any reduced fat milk. You need the fat in this drink.

Milk, heavy cream, Bourbon, simple syrup, nutmeg and vanilla extract.

How to make it:

See full ingredient amounts and instructions in the recipe card below!

  1. Mix whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract and simple syrup together in a container you can easily pour from. (I like to use a liquid measuring cup.)
  2. Stir in the Bourbon.

Recipe notes:

Be sure to follow the steps of this recipe in the order in which they are listed. If you add the Bourbon before mixing everything else, you run the risk of curdling the drink.
*A simple syrup is a mix of equal parts (by volume) of granulated sugar and water. (For example 1 cup sugar plus 1 cup water.) Heat the mix until all the sugar is dissolved and then let it cool.

      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). :)
