Talk:Punsch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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)
