Duplicate recipes edit

There are two recipes for the cocktail Arrack Punch with the exact same heading. One is on page 68 and a second on page 83.

The book's Index confirms the duplication. There are other cocktails that appear twice with variations, e.g. "Duke of Norfolk Punch" v. "Duke of Norfolk Punch for Bottling", but they usually are under a slightly different heading as a separate name.

I named the articles as Arrack Punch and Arrack Punch 2. Maybe one or both should be renamed Arrack Punch (glass) and/or Arrack Punch (tumblers). --Ashawley (talk) 16:57, 27 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

There's also an entry for Soda Cocktail that just cross-references to the one in the Temperance Drinks section. I named the latter Soda Cocktail 2, but it would probably better named something like Soda Cocktail (temperance) or Soda Cocktail (recipe). --Ashawley (talk) 05:01, 31 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
