Vegan Bourbon Milk Punch Recipe: Bourbon Milk Punch is delicious at one of our favorite Dallas Southern restaurants. They add handmade warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth to make it even tastier. Try the most comfortable dessert ever… But that assumes you can eat lots of dairy.
I can only drink a few sips of Bourbon Milk Punch before my stomach hurts. I’ve accepted my new situation, but my lactose intolerance is devastating since I drink ice-cold milk every night, especially with a cookie. I have developed a solution for individuals who cannot consume dairy products to enjoy this drink. very easy and tasty!

Instructions
Make the Pecan Milk
- In a large refrigerator-safe bowl, measure out the pecans, white rice and warm water. Add the cinnamon sticks. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 1-2 nights.
- In the morning, pour the soaked ingredients into the base of a blender. Remove ONE cinnamon stick.
- Measure in the maple syrup.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth.
- Using a cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer, strain the pecan milk.
- When the mixture has strained, add an additional 12 oz. of water.
- Transfer the pecan milk to a pitcher that has a lid, and refrigerate until time to use.
Mix the Vegan Bourbon Pecan Milk Punch

- Shake until ice cold, and serve in a chilled old fashioned glass. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Please note the total time does not include soak time or the straining time for the pecan milk.
- If you don’t want to make homemade pecan milk, you can substitute it with cashew milk or almond milk. Don’t mix the maple syrup into the drink until you’ve had a taste, as the sweetness of these store-bought nut milks can vary. Sweeten according to your taste buds.
- The pecan milk recipe makes enough for SIX drinks.
