Hej Erik,
I have only tried the recipe on the Batavia Arrack bottle, which i found to be not too like what comes out of a punsch bottle, but quite tasty once it aged a few days. Tonight I am making the recipe on this page. It has five ingredients, so I expect it will be the one.

anonymous, I had heard that. I have to admit that the Facile punch is about my favorite of the commercial brands, so this is kind of exciting. Though, uh, I am rather fond of my version of arrack punch, so I dunno if I will actually need to buy it. Maybe if I am feeling lazy…

A fine gentleman by the nane Henrik has been working hard to import Swedish Punsch to the US, shouldn’t be too much longer.

Thanks! I’m going to have to make a batch this weekend – my bar just feels empty without Swedish Punsch.

Anita… PS. I’m a Spirits Geek, not a Geography Geek! Also probably nominally dyslexic. I always get right and left or East and West transposed when speaking and writing.

Marshall, I just used Mount Gay Eclipse in this version and the version with the Sri Lankan Arrack. Actually, Appleton V/X sounds like an interesting choice to me. Might be a bit pricey for a big batch, though.

Erik, wondering what kind of amber rum you would recommend? Don’t want to use the Ibis in this, but maybe an Appleton? Thanks!

Not to out-geek the geek here, but I think your compass is upside down in the Arak paragraph.
