Two Fridays ago after making the American Flambée for Mixology Monday, I reached for Hugo Ensslin's Recipes for Mixed Drinks from 1916. There, I spotted the Have A Heart that seemed like a pleasing use of Swedish Punsch. Once in a glass, it offered citrus notes and the Punsch's Batavia Arrack and tea to the nose. A lime and pomegranate sip then gave way to a medley of gin, rum, and tea flavors on the swallow. Overall, it was a simple but elegant riff on a Bacardi Cocktail.
