Tiare,

Great post! David Wondrich talked a little bit about the history of punsch during Tales, but this was especially interesting.

Thank you for this post and providing such a rich history of the beverage. With the release of the Haus Alpenz’s Batavia Arrack, it is finally available here in Boston. A few of the better bars in town have put drinks on the menu and one makes their own Swedish Punsch to have on hand at all times. Very tasty stuff. Cheers!

Thanks Kevin!

Balihai,so you have tried the Glögg? when we get closer to christmas i`m planning to write about Glögg here. Every year we get the Glögg of the year and these are interesting stuff, the new ones has quite innovative new flavoring combos with spices and such. I missed last years as it did finish in 4 days..i`m prepared this year to rush to buy on day one.

Interesting. The only Swedish drink I was familiar with before reading this post was Glögg.
