A lil backstory of today’s cocktail

Charles Dickens Punch is a cocktail that pays homage to the famous British author Charles Dickens, known for his vibrant characters and elaborate storytelling. The drink is often associated with the festive spirit of the Victorian era and reflects the social gatherings of Dickens's time.

The punch is thought to have originated in the mid-19th century when Dickens was at the height of his literary career. It embodies the concept of punch as a communal drink, often enjoyed at parties and celebrations. Punches were typically made in large bowls, allowing guests to serve themselves, fostering a sense of camaraderie.

Dickens himself is known to have enjoyed various forms of punch, and while there isn’t a specific recipe attributed directly to him, the Charles Dickens Punch is generally a mix of rich flavors, often combining brandy, rum, tea, fruit juices, and spices. This combination captures the warmth and conviviality of Dickens's narratives, making it a fitting tribute to his literary legacy.
