Extract from merian.de/magazin/madeira-spezialitaet-poncha.html:
"Every Poncha takes revenge. And that is because Madeira wine is more famous. Revenge is sweet. Sweet as honey. Add lemon juice and aguardente, a quickly fermented rum - and the devilish mix is ready. Don't forget to stir well, of course with the "little dick" - caralhinho, little dick, is the name of the little whisk for this.
Stirring is important, otherwise you will taste the alcohol too much. But that must not happen, the Poncha wants to sneak in. It wants to act as if it can't hurt anyone. So you innocently sip one after the other, until the drunken end. It's better to plan your way home beforehand, otherwise you won't be able to find it. The fishermen of Madeira drink the Poncha before they board. In the past, they went whale hunting in small boats, with songs and liters Poncha gave them courage. Today, it is still needed, the Atlantic is rough and deep. But whales are no longer caught and the boats are better.
Nowadays, Poncha is primarily a liquid food: the honey provides the energy, the fruit provides the vitamins. And the alcohol ensures that the boat stands safely in high waves - a staggering sailor on a rocking ship provides a reliable vertical position for the latter. It is said that a fisherman needs one glass for each wind force. A dozen Ponchas keep him bolt upright even in a hurricane. Who knows. With Poncha, everything becomes so blurry: the view, the stories, the truth."
