Brandy Milk Punch

Take two ounces of brandy, one cup of milk, and one teaspoon of powdered sugar, shake and strain into a collins glass. Sprinkle some nutmeg on top. Chris is out on this due to lactose intolerance. This drink also marks the passing of the first bottle of brandy and we are barely a third of the way through the chapter.

This just tastes like f***ing milk. Or maybe more like a less pungent eggnog. Not good. I think I am more bothered by the name of this drink than by the taste of it. If it had a different name and came in a fancy glass with a straw, I might be a little kinder on the taste. Milk and punch are not two words that should ever go together. But it is still better than some of the recent drinks, mostly because the taste of brandy is well disguised.
