Clarified Milk Punch is a drink that bartenders love to serve but hate to make—beloved, yet notoriously labor-intensive. Popping up seemingly overnight on cocktail menus across the country in the mid-aughts, this drink has a history that dates back several centuries. In 1763, Benjamin Franklin sent his favorite Clarified Milk Punch recipe to a friend in a letter. The original recipe involved extensive ingredients and multiple steps, including straining the cocktail through a pillowcase.
