THE MASTER OF REINVENTION.

 

From its humble beginnings on 17th century trade ships and in raucous dockside taverns to gracious presence at balls and garden parties of the aristocracy, Punch has always made the most of its surroundings. Spirits from Europe and the colonies, spices and citrus from Africa and the East, teas from China and India, and sugar from the Indies all came together to create unique flavors that were at once both local and global. Today, it’s location-inspired evolution continues at Punch Room at EDITION outposts around the world.

Ingenue Punch

Jazz Revival

Many of today’s most popular cocktails evolved from punch between the start of the Industrial Revolution and the birth of the Jazz Age. The Ingenue Punch celebrates that era with a combination of classic flavors that reminds us why the classics are classics: Scotch whisky tempered with aged Caribbean rum, a touch of Pedro Ximenez sherry, lemon, and black tea scented with lychee.

15 ml Bacardí Reserva 8 Años

5 ml Pedro Ximenez Sherry

10 ml Lemon Juice​
