Jersey City Fish House Punch Recipe
Jersey City Fish House Punch Recipe-February 2024
Feb 12, 2026 1:19 AM

  This is one of our End of Prohibition party special punch recipes and it was adapted from the Philadelphia Fish House punch, which was a favorite of Generals Washington and Lafayette. We replaced the original cognac with our local Laird’s AppleJack and got something fantastic as a result. We use all seasonal fruits for this—a beautiful feature that also makes it extra tasty.

  

Ingredients

Makes 5 3/4 quarts

  Decorative ice block

  6 Fuji apples, diced

  6 large Bartlett pears, diced

  6 lemons, cut into half-wheels

  6 limes, cut into half-wheels

  3 cups Smith & Cross Traditional Jamaica rum

  1 quart Laird's AppleJack

  1 quart freshly squeezed lemon juice

  2 quarts water

  3/4 cup Massenez crème de pâche or peach liqueur

  

Step 1

Prepare the decorative ice block, allowing a few hours for freezing.

  

Step 2

Combine the fruits in a large punch bowl and add the rum, AppleJack, juice, water, and liqueur. Refrigerate for at least 4 to 5 hours. Just before serving, add the decorative ice block.
