A Tipple for More Intimate Holiday Gatherings: Lee Bros. Tannenbaum Tipple

Posted by The Gurgling Cod, December 20, 2007

For those of you who may have been intrigued by the Charleston Punch but do not have plans to entertain groups of 300 people over the holidays, consider this saner yet festive alternative from The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook.* Matt Lee and Ted Lee are Charleston denizens, but Matt developed the prototype of this punch for a black-tie holiday dinner at a Harvard eating club, so make of that what you will. It is possible that lower indigenous levels of gentility call for lower levels of alcohol.

* It came out in 2006 but would still make a nice gift. The Lee brothers are to the South what Madhur Jaffrey is to India.

** It might be interesting to try a hoppier ale, such as Long Trail IPA or a Dogfish Head 60 or 90 Minute IPA.
