Let me tell you, it was nothing like the bottled "arraks punsch extract" from Saturnus (which has none of the aromatic arrak taste of the genuine article). I can only compare it to the difference between Roses' grenadine and the real thing made with pomegranates. I used the recipe from the bottle as I was in a hurry to try it out: 2 oz. Batavia-Arrack van Oosten 1/2 oz. Rum 3/4 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice 1/2 oz. Simple Syrup 3 oz. Water A pinch of ground cardamom or nutmeg. I have tried both spices and prefer the cardamom. This is excellent hot. Jab, get yourself a bottle of this stuff! AC "Please play like nice children"
