ARRACK PUNCH

In making'rack punch, you ought to put two glasses (wine glasses) of rum to three of arrack. A good deal of sugar is required; but sweetening, after all, must be left to taste. Lemons and limes are also matter of palate, but two lemons are enough for the above quantity; put then an equal quan tity of water— i.e., not five but six to allow for the lemon juice,and you have a very pretty three tumblers of punch.

ARRACK PUNCH

Another recipe Steep in one quart of old Batavia arrack, six lemons cut in thin slices, for six hours. At the end of that time the lemon must be removed without squeezing. Dissolve one pound of loaf sugar in one quart of boiling water, and add the hot solution to the arrack.Letit stand to cool.This is a delightful liqueur, and should be used as such.

bimbo punch

Bimbo is made nearly in the same way as the above, except that Cognac brandy is substituted for arrack.
