ARRACK. This is a delicious and safe drink for a mixed evening party. Cool before serving.

48. Canadian Punch.

2 quarts of rye whiskey. 1 pint of Jamaica rum. 6 lemons, sliced. 1 pineapple, do. 4 quarts of water. Sweeten to taste, and ice.

49. Tip-Top Punch, (For a party of five.)

1 bottle of champagne. 2 do. soda-water. 1 liqueur glass of Curaçoa. 2 table-spoonfuls of powdered sugar. 1 slice of pineapple, cut up. Put all the ingredients together in a small punch-bowl, mix well, and serve in champagne goblets. 50 . Arrack. Most of the arrack imported into this country is dis tilled from rice, and comes from Batavia. It is but little used in America, except to flavor punch; the taste of it is very agreeable in this mixture. Arrack improves very much with age. It is much used in some parts of India, where it is distilled from toddy, the juice of the cocoanut tree. An imitation of arrack punch is made by adding to a bowl of punch a few grains of benzoin, commonly called flowers of Benjamin.
