Recipes Drinks
Krampampuli isn't just a drink; it's a ceremony. Dating back to 19th-century student traditions, this fiery punch is the highlight of New Year's Eve. Watching the blue flames caramelize the sugar into the spiced wine is mesmerizing. The taste is a devilish mix of strong spirits and heavenly sweetness.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Heatproof Bowl: Glass or metal.
  • Metal Grate: To hold the sugar.

Instructions

1 ✓

Pour the wine into a pot, add spices and dried fruits. Heat to a simmer, but do not boil.

Tip: The dried fruits rehydrate in the warm wine, absorbing liquid and plumping up.
2 ✓

Pour the hot wine into a heatproof punch bowl. Place a metal grate over the bowl and stack the sugar cubes on it.

Tip: Ensure the grate is stable so the sugar doesn't fall into the wine prematurely.
3 ✓

Drench the sugar thoroughly with rum, then carefully carefully ignite it.

Tip: High-proof alcohol ignites easily. The heat melts and caramelizes the sugar.
4 ✓

As the flame dies down, ladle more rum over the sugar until all of it has melted and dripped into the wine.

Tip: The dripping 'caramel lava' gives the drink its signature roasted, bittersweet flavor.
5 ✓

Stir the punch and serve hot in mugs, including the wine-soaked fruit.

Tip: Caution: The sugary, alcoholic steam is potent!

Why won't the rum catch fire?
The proof is too low or the rum is too cold. Use high-proof rum (Overproof/151) and warm it slightly beforehand.
