Guinness Punch

This recipe makes Guinness punch which is a creamy delicious beverage that is perfect for Christmas. The reason I love to serve it at Christmas is because of the cinnamon and nutmeg in the recipe which I find always gives food and drink a Christmassy flavour.

Guinness punch is a beverage that has been made in my family for many years. It is a very common drink in Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean though the recipes do vary. Many recipes also include Nurishment which is a meal replacement shake. It is normally used along with condensed milk to add sweetness and flavour. I choose not to add Nurishment to my Guinness punch mainly due to the high sugar content. Instead, I use condensed milk alone to sweeten the punch.

This version is quick, easy and doesn’t use too many ingredients. It is creamy and spicy from cinnamon and nutmeg with a distinctive sweet and bitter Guinness flavour. This beverage is so moreish and though I tend to serve it at Christmas, it is perfect for any special occasion.
