This weekend’s @Cubs / @whitesox #CrosstownClassic inspires the question: is Chicago’s classic Cohasset Punch a North Side or a South Side drink? You’ll be relieved—or annoyed—to find out that it’s technically neither, due to the history of our street grid:

What does Cohasset Punch taste like? We made a video taste testing Cohasset Punch alongside some other 19th century style punch liqueurs! It’s a look into a niche, not often discussed category of spirits: https://t.co/0WAU7QUQQA

Thank you @fox32news for having me on to talk festive Cohasset Punch drinks for this holiday season. It’s not too late to pick up a bottle to bring to Thanksgiving! https://t.co/8zAQ64Vsqs

Had a wonderful evening serving up Cohasset Punch at this year’s “Pour Your Heart Out” fundraiser for @AntiCruelty! Thanks to everyone for supporting, and thanks to everybody who tried Cohasset Punch!

Nice segment on WGN today about The History of Cohasset Punch https://t.co/Fm4MTLKtAC

We'll continue to feature this liqueur for our Summer drink special through the end of the month": “Cohasset Breeze”, a combination of Cohasset Punch, ginger ale & lemon.

Looking for the perfect gift for the friend who has everything? Cohasset Punch is a sweet sip over 125 years in the making—a revival of an old Chicago tradition that can be enjoyed by itself, with a mixer, or in cocktails. As seen in @ChicagoMag and @ChooseChicago gift guides!

Had a great time selling Cohasset Punch at Andersonville Wine & Spirits yesterday. Met one person who was a patron at the old “Home of Cohasset Punch” bar in the mid-1980s, and another who tried it for the first time on Friday at @thechippinn!

This outcome is better than breaking the ship up for scrap, and refit plans would have made changes to the ship’s appearance and not necessarily recreated the 1950s ocean liner experience. But this still is the end of a big chapter for me, not to mention maritime history. (2/2)

Heartbroken that the historic SS United States will be sunk as an artificial reef after redevelopment plans could not get traction. The project to restore it as a docked attraction was the catalyst in so many parts of my life and career. (1/2)

Exciting news for our fans outside Illinois: Cohasset Punch is now available online for shipment nationwide though online spirits retailer Seelbach’s: https://t.co/55FewaAhvr #cocktails #liqueur

@mckiesdjlounge @53viroqua Could be, but the louvers on the side of the hood look different to me — I suspect it’s a ‘28 Pontiac.

@53viroqua Looks to me like a 1928 Pontiac 3-Window Coupe: https://t.co/qF0NyOJSNP

We were feeling inspired to make a logo update of our own! The new one feels like it really sets us apart, don’t you think?

In case you’re visiting Chicago this week and looking for some authentic local flavor: Cohasset Punch was a sweet, spiritous Chicago tradition for almost a century starting in the 1890s. It’s now back after a nearly four-decade hiatus — try it and get ahead of a trend!

From the Chipp Inn Attic...

Circa 1950 postcard of Ladner Brothers, a Loop tavern that survived Prohibition but not the development which led to its demo in 1986. Known as the "Home of Cohasset Punch" an iconic Chicago drink, recently revived, and now available at the Chipp Inn

Happy to share that Cohasset Punch is now available at the new Inkwell bar in the West Loop and at the venerable @thechippinn in Noble Square. Excited to continue reintroducing Cohasset Punch to the Windy City, one bar at a time!
