      Title: Chatham Artillery Punch
 Categories: Beverages, Booze, Wine, Citrus
      Yield: 30 Servings
 
     12    Lemons
      2 c  Light, raw sugar
    750 ml Bottle cognac
    750 ml Bottle bourbon
    750 ml Bottle Jamaica rum
      3    (750 ml) bottles Champagne
           - or sparkling wine; chilled
      5 lb (2 kg) bag cracked ice
 
  Special equipment: large (2.5 gallon) punch bowl, empty 750
  milliliter bottle
  
  Using a vegetable peeler or paring knife, peel the lemons,
  being careful to remove only the yellow peel and not the
  bitter white pith.
  
  Place the peels in a bowl, add the sugar and muddle to
  combine. Set aside for at least half an hour, preferably an
  hour, to let the flavors combine.
  
  While the lemon peel is resting, juice the lemons to make
  two cups lemon juice. After the lemon peel has rested, add
  lemon juice to the bowl and stir until the sugar is
  dissolved. Strain the mixture into an empty 750mL bottle.
  
  Add water to the bottle to fill, seal it, give it a little
  shake and refrigerate this shrub until you're ready to make
  your punch.
  
  To serve, fill your large (2.5 gallon) punch bowl with
  cracked ice. (At this point, move your punch bowl to its
  party-time location, as it will be very difficult to move
  when it's full of punch.)
  
  Pour the shrub and all of the bottles of cognac, bourbon,
  rum and sparkling wine onto the ice. Stir to combine.
  
  Serve.
