COHASSET PUNCH

Name: COHASSET PUNCH
Ingredients: 1 cup Shaved ice (Quantity estimated to fill a large bar glass 1/2 full.); 1.5 ounces New England Rum (Originally '1 jigger'. Converted to modern measurement (1 jigger = 1.5 fl oz).); 1.5 ounces Sweet Vermouth (Originally '1 jigger Vermouth'. Sweet vermouth is traditional for this punch.); 3 dashes Gum syrup (or simple syrup) (Gum syrup adds a silky texture, but simple syrup can be substituted.); 1 dash Orange Bitters; 1/2 fruit Lemon (Juiced. (Approx. 0.75 oz juice).); 1 piece Preserved peach half (Canned peach half.); 1 tablespoon Peach syrup (from the can) (Originally 'its liquor'. Quantity estimated for flavor.)

This distinct 1917 cocktail blends the robust depth of New England rum with the herbal sweetness of vermouth and zesty fresh lemon juice. Uniquely finished with a preserved peach and its syrup, it offers a rich, fruity complexity that complements the icy base. Gum syrup and orange bitters add a velvety texture and aromatic finish to this sophisticated refresher.
