What is Guinness?

Guinness is an Irish dry stout that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness in 1759 and made from barley, hops, water, and a specific strain of ale yeast.

Commonly, barley is malted however, Guinness uses barley that has been roasted which gives its deep color and caramelized flavour.

Recipe Notes & Tips

• Blend Well – you may need to scrape down the condensed milk from the sides of the blender to ensure all the ingredients are well blended.
• Sweeten to Your Liking – 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk may be too little or much for some, sweeten according to your preference.

How to Make Ahead of Time?

This creamy punch is best served a a few hours after it is made to allow the flavours in the nutmeg and vanilla to infuse and burst. It also allows the punch to chill which is the best way to enjoy. Refrigerate in an airtight jar or jug until ready to serve.

Guinness Punch is best served a few hours after it is made once it has chilled and spices infused. However, to store; do so in an airtight jar or jug in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for optimum freshness and flavour.

Note: you will need to stir the punch well when ready to serve as the ingredients will settle to the bottom.
