Some Philadelphia Fish-House Punch is in my future… Not much real peach brandy (eau de vie) being produced anymore. High Wire does a delish bottled-in-bond version. And this year I was lucky enough to snag a bottle.

Finis, how appropriate that the final entry of my daily review of the OCtS&C would be for these two lovely and essential contributors to the cocktail renaissance. Have met so many wonderful people through this project. Now what will I do with the next four years! Cheers!

@alpinejohnny Thank you for all of these posts. I’ve fully enjoyed them and have learned a lot. I’ll note that I do have the OCtS&C, and while 98% of the pages have never been opened, it’s a fantastic resource.
