Winter Traveler’s Punch Recipe

If youre looking for a respite from all those hot, heavy holiday drinks, look no further The winter travelers punch from bartender gaston graffigna at nycs bua is a tiki-style twist on the flavors of the season that somehow manages to be just as warm and comforting as it is crisp and refreshing. Graffigna uses goslings for the dark rum, but you can use anything you like even a dark spiced rum would work here in addition to the regular spiced rum the recipe calls for. Despite the relatively big portion of chile liqueur (ancho reyes), its not as spicy as we were expecting. The spice is just enough to warm you up, supported by rich flavors of vanilla and almond and smoke.
