Ponche Navideño is a Mexican Christmas punch[1] that is customarily served during Christmastime and Las Posadas in Mexico and other Latin American countries.[2][3][4][5][6]
Origin
[edit]According to Kenya Dworkin, professor of Hispanic studies at Carnegie Mellon University, Ponche Navideño originated in India.[3]
Ingredients, preparation, and serving
[edit]
The traditional ingredients are tejocotes, pilloncillo (raw sugar cane), and cinnamon. The fruits of guava, tamarind, raisins, prunes, and oranges are common additions.[4] Ponche Navideño is served hot or warm,[3][6] and may be garnished with a stick of sugar cane.[4][7] When a shot of alcohol (popularly rum) is added to the punch, it is called ponche con piqueto ("punch with a sting").[1][2][8]
