Rich, complex, and bursting with flavors of stone fruit, raisins, and citrus zest, enjoy Cohasset Punch responsibly on its own, with a mixer, or in cocktails. Now available at Binny’s Beverage Depot.
“What is a Cohasset Punch?”
“I don’t know. I drank one once and found out, and then I drank a second one and forgot it.”
The New York Press, 1900
“What the mint julep is to the South, Cohasset Punch is to Chicago.”
Bonfort’s Wine and Spirit Circular, August 10, 1902
“After three or four of them, a pleasant mellowness steals over you, your imagination glows, you discover humor you never possessed. When you finally get up to go, lo, your legs are merely attached to your body for appearance’s sake.”
The Chicago Tribune, August 17, 1938
“And here was the scene, predictable to the last detail, hours, days, weeks before — the light furniture in the popular Swedish style, the brown carpet, the Chagall and Gris prints, the vines trailing from the mantelpiece, the bowl of Cohasset Punch.”
Dangling Man, Saul Bellow, 1944
“The cherry-colored liqueur has been a Chicago tradition since the 1890s—not one of the best known Windy City traditions, but jealously guarded by a steady stream of regulars.”
Charles Hillinger, The Los Angeles Times, July 4, 1979
“The definitive Chicago cocktail…the town’s most distinctive drink.”
Eric Felton, The Wall Street Journal, December 20, 2008
