Parker’s Punch by Thumbtack
1 bottle gin
half bottle Cocchi Americano
12 oz fresh strawberry juice
7 oz fresh lemon juice
4 oz 1:1 ratio simple syrup
1 oz absinthe
Combine all in a punch bowl, add a block of ice to chill and dilute. Taste for balance between sweetness and acidity, garnish with fresh berries, and enjoy. A decent fruit and vegetable juicer is helpful here, but not essential. If you don’t have one, skip the simple syrup and instead macerate sliced strawberries in 1/3 cup cane sugar. Muddle the heck out of them until they are broken down completely. Add the gin to the pulp-y berry/sugar mixture to make it less viscous, and strain through a chinois. Super-ripe strawberries are critical here. Sad berries with snow-white centers won’t make it magical.
