51. 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 quan

tity; put then an equal quantity of water i. e., not five

but six glasses to allow for the lemon juice, and you

have a very pretty three tumblers of punch.

52. Arrack Punch.

(Another method.)

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 boil

ing,wrter, and add the hot solution to the arrack. Let

it stand to cool. This is a delightful liqueur, and

should be used as such'. See recipe in The Matiual

for the Manufacticre of Cordials, etc.," \i\ the end of

this volume.

53.. Bimbo Punch.

Bimbo is made nearly in the same way as the above,

except that Cognac brandy is substituted for arrack.

54, Cold Punch.

Arrack, port wine and water, of each two pints, one
