What is Milk Punch?
Milk punch is generally known as an irish milk drink. It normally has equal parts of milk and whisky. From there you can add your own spin on it with how you would like to flavor it.
In the traditional version, people will add either melted down butter, cinnamon, honey, sugar, cloves, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice. Basically like the tastes of Fall in a booze filled cup!
This is what was served at many holiday parties in the south, if you want to get a real one go to New Orleans, they have a ton of them there!
How Long Does Brandy Milk Punch Last?
Unfortunately this recipe for milk punch will go bad quite quickly. Since it does have the ice cream in to make it like a shake, the longer the punch sits out, the quicker the ice cream is going to melt.
It is meant to be drunk while cold and freshly prepared. It will go bad if it sits in the fridge, so your best bet is to drink it when you first get it.
This will only be good for a half hour or so in order to enjoy the shake like consistency, after that it will taste good, but it will just be more like spiked milk.
Why is This Milk Punch Recipe So Delightful?
When you first hear the name Milk Punch, you might just be trying to figure out what in the world it even is! After a quick google search you will find out it is an amazing and classic southern cocktail that you have been missing out on.

Make It Your Own
The really nice thing about this recipe is that you can tailor it to you. You do not need to use these hard and fast measurements (even though they will produce a tasty milk punch).
Make the adult milkshake one that you are going to like. You can change out the quantities of the bourbon, rum, and brandy.
If you want to make this an even richer dessert shake, you can exchange the milk for half and half, and then bam you have yourself dessert in a cup.
Or if you want to change up the flavor you can do that too! Add in a little vanilla extract to give the recipe even more depth. Maybe even some peppermint ice cream if you want to make this around the holidays.
