Notes
Picon Punch is a traditional Basque drink that is very popular in the Basque community in central California. It was invented by Basque immigrants in the early 1900's. Picon Punch became so popular, it was exported back to the Basque region of the mother country, Spain.
You can find the drink served in many Basque restaurants in central California (Fresno, Bakersfield, etc.). While the original recipe used Amer Picon, this recipe uses Torani Amer. Amer Picon is not available in the United States, and even if it was, the current formula differs greatly from the one available when the Picon Punch was invented. Torani Amer is an agreeable substitute.
