Hailing from Chicago, this champagne whiskey punch is a delightful and refreshing beverage perfect for patio season. Created by Clint Rogers at Chicago's The Dawson, the bubbly whiskey punch is easily replicated at home. A drink that pairs the tart of raspberries with the bubbly effervescence of champagne, it's a great option that will make a great addition to any beverage repertoire.
In order to make a batch of champagne whiskey punch, one will need to acquire one bottle of sparkling wine, Angostura bitters, lemon juice and some Bourbon. Additionally, it requires the quick whipping up of a batch of simple syrup and raspberry syrup. Once the blend is mixed, the sparkling wine is poured on top. A single batch from this recipe serves six to eight people.
