That is one way, but not the correct way.

Oh wow. I must hear the real way. Please share. I'll try both and decide on my own which is best, for me

You remember how they are made?

Not gonna lie...as a native Nevadan I have had many different picon punches in many different basque restaurants and bars throughout Nevada. Hands down, Cindy makes the best punch I have ever had and honestly the only punch I have ever liked enough to intentionally have more than one.

Edit: corrected "pecan" to picon. Apparently autocorrect likes nuts better than alcohol.

So this drink is native to NV?

Native to the Basque, and there are a lot of Basque in Nevada and certainly were in Nevada's early days.

Wasn't sure what Basque was so I googled it. Interesting...French/Spanish border. How did there come to be a basque population in NV? Just curious.

Neither, it's completely full.

The top 1/3 is full of air. The rest has your cocktail.
