DrinkWire is Liquor.com’s showcase for the best articles, recipes and reviews from the web’s top writers and bloggers. In this post, offers a seasonal punch recipe.

The drink hails from our experimentation with a recipe that called for waaaaaay too much Falernum (1.5 cups!): the tropical, almond-based Caribbean syrup. After beating the sweet Falernum down to a heavy but more reasonable proportion, we added IPA — which complemented the Campari — and a great punch was born.

Recipe

• .75 cup Bourbon
• .75 cup Falernum
• .75 cup Sweet Vermouth
• .75 cup Campari
• .25 cup Light Rum (we used Tripp Distillery)
• 3 cup IPA
