About This Recipe

I remember the first time I tasted Guinness punch. It was from a Jamaican food spot that my friend worked at and I was so impressed with the flavor! It made the usual bitter and harsh Guinness stout taste sweet, thick, and creamy. As you know, whenever I love a recipe, I create my own and share it with you so here I am years later sharing an easy, quick homemade version of this Caribbean classic!

This punch is enjoyed all over the Caribbean. It is prepared slightly differently across Caribbean countries. However, the basic ingredients remain the same, Guinness, condensed milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Some islanders add Irish Moss, Cognac, or Rum. While others add eggs or more milk. In this recipe, I decided to keep things simple and use the ingredients listed below.
