📜 History

Fish House Vodka Punch is a modern adaptation of the legendary Fish House Punch, originally created in 1732 at the Schuylkill Fishing Company in Philadelphia—the oldest social club in America. The original rum and cognac recipe was a closely guarded secret said to have been enjoyed by George Washington. This vodka version offers a lighter, more accessible take on the historic formula.
