Used a nice cognac and Jamaican Black rum. Perfect for an after-dinner cocktail or evening sipper. Sort of a light version of an eggnog without the heavy eggy taste.

In true rum drinkers style, we decided that it needed just a wee jolt more. Added a 151 rum float. Brought the rum flavour forward. Certainly a good night cap. zzzzzzzz

The dark rum makes this version of the Milk Punch a fair bit more interesting than the standard Brandy Milk Punch. A bit sweeter, and even more dessert drink adjacent.
