A Celebrated Spirit in Punch, Classic Cocktails & Dark Chocolate

"It is a taste that has traveled the world from the Dutch East Indies, unique for its ability to both add depth and to lift the aromas of citrus and chocolate.  From the late 17th to th 19th century, in an age when "Punch" was a celebration of all things then exotic - citrus, sugar, and spice, no Punch was without a true Batavia Arrack.  In pre-Prohibition America, Batavia Arrack and most notably the Swedish Punsch were essential to many now-classic cocktails.  Beyond these uses, Batavia Arrack is today found in boutique European chocolates and tropical fruit drinks at resorts in Bali."
