For those of you that are asking, Ponche Crème (also known as punch ah crème) is our Caribbean eggnog. It is not the eggnog you know and grew up on, ours has booze it in, specifically rum adding to the many layers of this drink. It’s a smooth and creamy, milk-based alcoholic drink with a presence of citrus, and nutty and warm spices, best shared with your family, friends and neighbours.
It’s a drink that is also packed with history and tradition, with each home making theirs a little different from the next based on what was available at the time. My grandmother has been making it for years, she was known for making one that you’d now say was ‘bess’.
Cheers to traditions, new and old, and another year ahead!
