Mother's Ruin PunchWilliam Hereford

Traditionally, punch is made with some kind of spice element. We satisfied that requirement with this tea-infused vermouth, which was a real game changer for us.

Cook's note:

You'll have plenty of extra tea-infused sweet vermouth, which you can use in place of regular sweet vermouth in a range of cocktails.
