It's not known who made the first punch or where that punch was made but even David Wondrich, the leading American author on the subject, agrees that it was likely to have been a Brit. The first known written reference to punch appears in a letter sent on 28th September by Robert Addams who was stationed in India and worked for the British East India Company. Writing to a colleague about their respective accommodation and company he wrote, "I hop you will keep good house together and drincke punch by no allowance.
The first recorded punch recipe dates from when Johan Albert de Mandelslo, a German managing a factory in Surat, India recorded that the workers there made "a kind of drink consisting of aqua vitae, rose-water, juice of citrons and sugar. Spirits weren't the refined products we enjoy today and the 'new' and cheap tipple, rum, courtesy of Britain's colonial interests tended to be fiery stuff.
Punch emerged as a way of taming rum. Wondrich picks up the tale, "Punch began in the British East India trade, as far as we can tell. Records are pretty spotty about this sort of thing, but English sailors ran out of beer and they ran out of wine, and you can't have a boat full of English people without something to drink. So, some bright spark had the idea, what if we make artificial wine from spirits.
Once they got to East Asia and South Asia everybody there was drinking spirits; spirits were widely available - Batavia arrack in Indonesia and coconut arrack in India, and somebody said okay, let's take that and let's turn it back into wine, and how do you do that? You put the acidity back in that's been distilled out, so you use lemon juice; you sweeten it to balance that - they liked sweet wines back then - and I think, most importantly almost, is you dilute it back, you put the water back in, so you end up with something that's about the strength of wine.
You can make this artificial wine with things that are on the shelf, that will keep forever or are locally available and it's delicious. This starts in the early s with these British merchants. Punch helped sailors survive the long voyages due to the citrus in the punch protecting them from scurvy.
When they returned to the London ports, due to being over-provisioned often they brought back some arrack from the East Indies and other punch ingredients with them. It became very fashionable to visit the docks and drink a bowl of punch with the sailors. Investors would visit the ships they'd financed with their friends and sit onboard enjoying this new communal beverage. During the mids, after the Restoration, punch made with arrack from the East Indies, and then rum from West Indies became the fashionable social beverage in London's coffee houses, then the new gathering places.
And as Wondrich says, "with all that caffeine, you need something to come down on a little. Punch remained the tipple of choice for English aristocrats for hundreds of years to come. The spirits, tea, sugar, citrus and nutmeg used were expensive ingredients with the lemons alone then equivalent to eight dollars each.
