Old Mr. Boston Rye or Bourbon Whiskey is traditional; rye delivers spice and dryness, while bourbon adds sweetness and body. Use whichever aligns with your taste preference.
Benedictine adds herbal complexity and sweetness. Chartreuse or Drambuie can substitute, though the flavor profile will shift noticeably.
Brighton Punch is typically served cold, either shaken with ice and strained or served over ice in a rocks glass.
Freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice are essential. Taste as you combine; adjust ratios slightly if one citrus is particularly acidic or mild.
Serve in a rocks glass or coupe glass, depending on preference—rocks glass for on-the-rocks presentation, coupe for a chilled, strained serve.
