The Infamous "Ponche Crema de Oro" from the Dominican Republic


(Ponche is also a great ingredient to add to desserts
because of its creamy, thick, sweet and egg based texture. Depending on the brand, and desired alcohol taste, you can
substitute either 1/4-1/2 a cup of it for milk in any pudding, custard,
pastry cream, creme brulee, or butter cream frosting recipe.)

Ponche is a creme based liqueur, that is traditional in many Latin American and Caribbean countries. In Haiti, this liqueur is commonly known as Kremas. Similar as in the states, ponche is a sort of egg nog that tends to be very popular during the Christmas season, however it is very common for people to drink ponche year round, especially after meals and during special outings and celebrations . Usually the recipes vary depending on the region, but the main ingredients usually include milk, eggs, sugar, rum, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and lemon rind. Ponche Crema de Oro has to be one of the most popular brands of ponche in the Dominican Republic, and very well know for its relatively high alcohol content. Lets just say, its not a drink to be taken to too lightly and don't let its sweet flavor fool you, so drink happily with caution. In the U.S., you can usually find Ponche year round at almost any local liquor store within most Caribbean/Latino neighborhoods.
