This recipe was fantastic and simple. So simple, I was able to memorize it. A few days ago I was at a party, and we were running low on beer. But, alas, for some inexplicable but fortunate reason, the host just happened to have all the ingredients(though i did have to sub the arrack for some golden rum. So I mixed up a quick batch and it was quite the crowd pleaser. I will defiantly make this again, and so will many of the people at the party, because quite a few asked for the recipe.

My husband and I were looking for something different to bring to our Thanksgiving party this year and we found it! We had a similar problem as most and substituted with half and half Rum. Because we where pressed for time, we only squeezed 8 limes and used store bottled lime juice for the difference, but it was delicious! I understand some would find it too sweet, it didn't bother us and we received numerous compliments throughout the event. Definately will add to my collection of recipes and make again.

I made this for Thanksgiving. Everyone really enjoyed it (8 adults were present. I special ordered the Batavia-Arrack from an online liquor store, and it was well worth it. Not particularly expensive, considering, and it was quite unique (had a few sips of it prior to using. The Batavia-Arrack did *not* taste like rum. It tasted like (from my own unique palate: a very smooth Islay Scotch (whisky, with strong hints of molasses and tequila.
The punch was a big hit and I hope to make it again. It was a pain in the rear to juice the limes by hand though. : I did use less sugar, as previously recommended. I used about 24 oz. of demarara, and it was not at all syrupy. It was perfect. I couldn't get a whole nutmeg to grate, but the punch was still yummy.
