Ingredients
Method

- Pour 16 ounces of boiling water over the oleo-saccharum.
- Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Mix the Punch:
- In a large punch bowl, combine the lemon sugar mixture with the freshly squeezed lemon juice, Jamaican rum, peach brandy, and VSOP cognac.
- Add 12 cups of cool water and stir well.
- Chill and Serve:
- Let the punch chill in the refrigerator to blend the flavors.
- Before serving, taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice if needed.
