- Can I use punch flavouring?
- You can, but the taste of real liqueur is much more refined. If using flavouring, dose it very carefully as it can easily taste 'fake'.
- It didn't turn pink.
- The colouring ability of liqueurs varies. If you want the classic colour, add a drop of red food colouring or raspberry juice.
Rum Punch Panna Cotta
The flavour of punch – a cavalcade of rum, citrus, and raisin aromas – evokes childhood for many, but here it returns in an elegant, adult form. The pinkish hue of the cream and the scent of punch liqueur instantly create a festive atmosphere. This isn't the artificial 'punch flavour' of confectioneries, but a harmony of real flavours.
