Talk:Punsch

Punsch is not a traditional Swedish only drink. Many countries have it even spelled the same way or spelled punch etc. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punch_%28drink%29 This should be corrected to remove the Swedish "only" version of this and make it more generic.


 * If you know of countries where the essentially same drink is served, feel free to add to this article and adjust it as needed. I would hesitate to merge this article with Punch (drink), however. There are too many differences, though there is obviously some shared history that could be explored. Swedish "punsch" is a sweet liqueur served chilled or hot, but never mixed with fruit juices like "punch", and also not served from a punch bowl.--CodeGeneratR 08:12, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Additionally, I'd really appreciate any tips on where to find (Swedish/Scandinavian/Nordic) punsch in the U.S. Seems to be NOT AVAILABLE, even in specialty liquor stores.--CodeGeneratR 08:12, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


 * If you have an IKEA store nearby, they'll probbaly have at least one Punsch in teh Sweden store, they do here in the UK. Vatine


 * Thanks for the tip -- hope it helps someone. In my case, IKEA stores in California do not sell any alcohol. --CodeGeneratR 15:05, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Unnecessary trivia
The fact that arrak was first imported into Sweden in 1733 seem irrelevant. Arrak was not used punsch until later, 1733 is not a relevant year for the drink punsch. Should this be removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Student342 (talk • contribs) 22:54, 28 June 2018 (UTC) Student342 (talk) 23:00, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

False fact
It says punsch was imported from Java. It was Arrak that came from Java, the drink is not of Javan origin. The drink is a Swedish/Finnish drink. Should this be removed?Student342 (talk) 23:00, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
