Jamaican Guinness Punch

Bring the flavors of the Caribbean to your next party with my Jamaican Guinness Punch. Guinness is combined with milk, condensed milk, vanilla and a hint of nutmeg for a spicy twist. Rolled oats are also added, which once blitzed up, gives this punch its thick and creamy texture. This post is meant for an audience 21 and over.

This Jamaican Guinness Punch recipe could not be any easier. Place everything into a blender, blitz together, pour over ice and serve.

I like to make my Jamaican Guinness punch with oats to give it that thick and creamy texture. If you like yours a little smoother, leave the oats out.

Guinness punch is enjoyed all over the Caribbean, and the recipe changes from country to country. Some add eggs, others a splash of Irish whisky or rum to the recipe. Some add Nutriment or Supligen as well, an energy nutrition drink. However, what you have here is my version that uses ingredients I always have on hand.

Jamaican Guinness Punch Ingredients

Here's what you will need to make homemade Jamaican Guinness Punch:

• Guinness - I use a 11.2 oz bottle of Guinness to make 2 servings of punch.
• Milk - I recommend full-fat or reduced-fat milk.
• Rolled oats - adds thickness to the punch, you can leave them out if you prefer a smoother punch. Or drain the punch after blending.
• Condensed milk - sweetens the punch and balances out the bitterness of the stout.
• Vanilla extract - I always use vanilla extract as it has a better depth of flavor and essence.
• Spices - I add ground nutmeg to add a touch of warming spice to the punch.

How to make Jamaican Guinness Punch

Add the Guinness, milk, rolled oats, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and nutmeg in a blender. Blend until all of the ingredients are combined and smooth.

Pour the punch into glasses or punch cups over ice and serve immediately.

Expert Tips

These tips will help you make the best homemade Jamaican Guinness Punch recipe you've ever tried. 

• The oats thicken the punch. To make the drink a bit smoother, strain the liquid through a strainer.
• Guinness punch is best cold, so chill in the refrigerator and serve over ice.
• Don't add the ice cubes until you are ready to serve, otherwise, you risk them melting and diluting the punch.
• This recipe can be doubled up to serve a larger group.

Flavor variations

• I've used regular Guinness, but this recipe will work with low-alcohol Guinness too.
• The rolled oats do make this punch thick, so if you still want the taste, but would prefer to have it a little smoother, leave the rolled oats out and replace the whole milk with oat milk instead. This would also make a great vegan or dairy-free Guinness punch.
• If you love spice, add some ground cinnamon along with the nutmeg.
