Around the World in 60 Cocktails: Punch à la Romainé

Lavish 10-course meals were the norm for first-class passengers aboard the transoceanic voyages of yesteryear. Drinks were meticulously paired, including this shaved-ice cocktail popularized by famed French chef Georges Auguste Escoffier.

The light and refreshing Punch à la Romainé is our interpretation of the Titanic’s classic palate cleanser. True to its origins, it features historic cocktail ingredients. Start with Pierre Ferrand Dry Orange Curaçao, a rich, complex and balanced French triple sec crafted in consultation with famed cocktail historian David Wondrich and based on a 19th century recipe. Jawbox Classic Dry Gin is produced just outside of Belfast in a vast 300-acre estate that is not only home to the distillery but also the fields where the grain for their spirit is grown and harvested. The final flourish of our champagne-based cocktail is, of course, Piper Heidsieck Monopole Champagne.
