Substitutes for Swedish Punsch liqueur
Batavia arrack under sugar, tea and citrus, and the arrack is the funk nothing else supplies. Built from parts an aged rum takes about two-thirds of the volume to reach the usual strength, and what stays missing is that wild edge.
Often confused with
Punch (the mixed drink)
Swedish punsch is a bottled, sweetened liqueur of fixed composition, where punch is mixed to order just before serving. Ask for one and get the other and you have a cordial instead of a bowl — the recipe measures it like a liqueur, not like a drink.
Description
Around 25% ABV against roughly 30% sugar — count it as sweet rather than strong.
