About this recipe

After pañca was imported to England, the recipe changed around slightly, in that different alcoholic bases were being used for the drink, such as wines or brandy.

The modern punch is usually made with rum, but there are a lot of variations depending on the part of the world we’re talking about. So don't be afraid to experiment!
