"Depression Punch" Recipe?
Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2008 7:26 am
Greeting all,
I live in the US , GA to be particular. I had a great Uncle who was famous for passing on a little houch every now and then. He was quite a charater, survied the depression, the infantry in WWII and many trials and tribulations. After returning from WWII, He alway had a big party every Memorial day and pretty much invited everyone he knew, to remember his buddies that didn't make it. It was a big deal, a pig was roasted, lots of libations . If we were lucky He would have what he called " Depression Punch", It was made from good white lightening , and would knock your socks off. He was an advocate of "corn wiskey" and provide me with several samples over the years, I suppose to instruct me on what was good and what wasn't. I don't think he made the wiskey but then again , I don't think he would admit to it either. The punch tasted of lemonaid, and it was a secret formula, had several other things in it. It was high octane. He died this last year, and I never got the recipe. It wasn't sweet either like lemonade, Just a slight touch of sweetness. So it didn't give the nasty hang overs associate with sugar.
Has anybody ever heard of "Depression Punch" and can you give me a hint of what goes into it?
After what the markets have been doing and the way the ecomony has been going, It may be time for Depression Punch again.........
