It is really strong as it's mostly booze but quite tasty. I figured that since the booze would really stand out in this one, I'd try to use good ingredients. I used Appleton VX which is a bit lighter than what's called for but I didn't want to ruin the flavor with Myers's. I used Landy cognac instead of brandy and I actually found real peach brandy. Apparently the peach brandy that would have been used in this punch has pretty much disappeared. I forget the brand but the one I used is made in California and was really expensive. There are recommendations for other peach brandies that are acceptable substitutes. IIRC, Marie Brizard makes one. Quite worth it to make this in a big batch, let it sit for a few hours, and serve over a big ice block.
