We sample a Poncha flight at REI DA PONCHA Funchal Madeira & get drunk

Описание: In todays vlog we visit Rei Da Poncha again. We sample a long mixed Poncha flight as well as many other alcoholic beverages. We meet new friends, stay way too long, get drunk and then hit Funchal to take in the sights and vlog rather badly. I'm nothing but honest.
What is Poncha you ask?
Poncha is a traditional alcoholic drink from the island of Madeira, made with aguardente de cana (distilled alcohol made from sugar cane juice), honey, sugar, and either orange juice or lemon juice. Some varieties include other fruit juices.
It is mixed together with a mixing tool created in Madeira officially called a mexelote but more commonly known as a caralhinho (little cock).
How to make Poncha
Besides 'Madeira Rum', other ingredients are commonly used, namely honey and a variety of fruits produced exclusively in the region, such as oranges and lemons individually or even combined.

But it is important to emphasize that the brewing of this drink is not only in the ingredients that make it up, but also in the know-how passed on through generations, in which all this consists in combining the ingredients and adjusting their proportions. The main known ‘ponchas’ in Madeira are three, the passion fruit one, the regional and the ‘à pescador´’, which means fisherman.

Ingredients for regional ‘poncha’

2 lemons
2 oranges
1 & 1/2 tbsp white / brown sugar
Bee honey
Sugar Cane brandy from Madeira or «Rum»
"Regional Poncha" Preparation Steps:

1; In a tall glass place the lemon rind;
2; Add one and a half tablespoons of white or brown sugar and crush with a pestle;
3; Squeeze the juice of lemons and oranges;
4; Add the juice to the rind and sugar mixture. Mix with the ‘Mechelote’ (traditional Madeira island utensil to mix the ingredients). Strain the mixture into the jar.
5; Add sugarcane brandy (the same volume as orange and lemon juice). Add the honey with the ‘mechelote’ tool.
