This dish is from Vivek Surti of Tailor in Nashville, No. 7 on our Hot 10 list for 2019. His spiked fruit tea is purposefully not too boozy, however you can likewise leave the bourbon out. Our welcome mixed drink is a tribute to the latter, along with to punch’s Indian heritage. (Punch originates from the Hindi word paanch, which implies ‘5’ given that initially there were just 5 active ingredients.) I like fruit tea and wished to bring it back – with bourbon.”
