Description
According to his great-grandson, Cedric, Charles Dickens ‘‘loved the ritual of mixing the evening glass of Gin Punch, which he performed with all the energy and discrimination of Mr. Micawber.’’ You may recall that, in ‘‘David Copperfield,’’ Wilkins Micawber is uplifted by a humble gin punch: ‘‘I never saw a man so thoroughly enjoy himself amid the fragrance of lemon-peel and sugar, the odour of burning spirit, and the steam of boiling water, as Mr. Micawber did that afternoon.” Although this is called a punch, note that it’s a serving for one — but dont let that stop you from making it for company. Its combination of spirit, warmth and spice will bring to mind a hot toddy, and its fragrant and flavorful enough to supplant the more familiar whiskey-based version — at least for a season. Featured in: A Victorian Toast.
