Arrack Punch.

(Three tumblers of punch.)

  • Take 2 wine-glasses of Batavia Arrack (old).
  • Take 3 wine-glasses of Jamaica rum.
  • Take Sweeten to taste with loaf-sugar dissolved in hot water.

Lemons and limes are also matter of palate, but two lemons are enough for the above quantity; put then an equal quantity of water—i.e., not five but six glasses to allow for the lemon juice, and you have three very pretty tumblers of punch.
