Fish House Punch: This may be the best drink to make for your holiday celebrations. You can make it in bulk; it has a wonderful history; and it tastes like the nectar of the gods.
Before cocktails, people drank punches. And when George Washington went to Schuylkill - a social club in what is now Pennsylvania - he drank Fish House Punch.
It is believed that Jerry Thomas recorded the original recipe for Fish House Punch (also referred to as Philadelphia Fish House Punch). But I’ve used a recipe from the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago, which comes recommended by Ted “Dr. Cocktail” Haigh. (Side note: The 1893 World’s Fair was an extraordinary event. Do yourself a favor and read Erik Larson’s book about it.)
Bowl Quantity:
- 2 quarts Jamaica rum
- 1 quart brandy
- 1/2 pint peach brandy
- 1/2 pint maraschino liqueur
- 1 quart freshly made green tea
- 1 pint lemon juice
- 1 pound powdered (not confectioners’) sugar
- 1 bottle champagne
Stir all except the champagne together in a large pot with a lid. Let brew, advisably for two days. When ready, pour over ice in a punch bowl and stir in the champagne.
For those of us not prepared to go through this much punch, Haigh kindly offers a reduced recipe, which is what I used.
Reduction:
- 4 ounces Jamaica rum
- 2 ounces brandy
- 1/2 ounce peach brandy
- 1/2 ounce maraschino liqueur
- 2 ounces freshly made green tea
- 1 ounce lemon juice
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- 1 split champagne
Combine in a Mason jar and let brew. Pour into ice-filled glasses. Add a splash of champagne to each. Stir lightly.

I’m surprised Australia Post didn’t mind me importing (for personal use only!) unrated porn. Thanks though!
Can’t work out how to reply to notes.
They didn’t wait them, the cellophane was still in tact. They should have though! Madison Young and April Flores?!

TMI
I just had my septum pushed through/repeirced/stretched after it closed from having been taken out while I was sick and visiting my grandma. It was kind of like the first time I was successfully fisted.
Deep breathing as we prepare.
Tries to push needle through.
‘Ow ow ow’
Stops.
‘Are you ok?’ ‘Yep’ ‘Ok’
Deep breathing. Focusing on the breathing.
Pushes needle.
‘Ow ow ow keep going keep going ow ow o…’
Needle is through! Then jewelry then done! Yay! Not quite orgasmic but body is in some kind of post-something shock.So I went to the Sara Lee factory outlet that was down the road. Yay!

Someone recognized my nail polish the other day.
‘Is that the muppets nail polish?!’
‘Why yes, yes it is. Animalistic I think.’
It was pretty cool. -
Life lessons learnt in the last month
Shoplifting dress = visiting grandma dress.
A 12 month old septum piercing takes a little over 3 days to close.
I am not cut out for squats. Even nice ones. Especially when sick.
Spas are weird and hilarious and awesome. -
