So Yeah, the Picon Punch…
Picon Punch! The national drink of the Basques! Brought to the national limelight by San Francisco! My first drink that features the Amer Boudreau batch!
From Ted Haigh’s recipe:
2 1/2 oz Amer Boudreau
1 oz Brandy (I used Leptano)
1 teaspoon grenadine
Soda water
Grenadine and Amer Boudreau in a glass, fill with soda water, top off with brandy.
Delicious! The brandy is subtle. The grenadine and soda water softens up the burn of the vodka of the Amer Boudreau. I can drink 20 of these in a row!
No I can’t. Here’s the problem: The Amer Boudreau batch is about 20% 100 proof vodka. So with 2 1/2 ounces, you get almost a shot of vodka. So yeah, WOW. Much more potent than I expected. At about three quarters of the way through, shit got *real*. Quoting Gob, “I made a huge mistake.”
