arrakkipunssi
Finnish
Etymology
arrakki + punssi
Noun
arrakkipunssi
- A liqueur based on arrack, neutral spirits and flavorings. Originates in Sweden and mostly not known outside Nordic countries. There's no established English name for it, but "arrack liqueur" might be a good bet.
Usage notes
Sometimes translated as "punch" into English, but that is actually a false friend.
