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.Let it stand to cool. This is a delightful
liqueur, and should be used as such.

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