nipa and partly rectified and made into other beverages.

PRODUCTS. 
Samples of the various distillates made from the fermented 
saps of the nipa and coconut palms and from molasses, represent-

* Anisado, anis, anisette, carabanchel, and mallorca are all varieties of 
the same type of beverage. They are made from alcohol, sugar, water, and 
oil of anise. When sugar is used in considerable quantity with small 
amounts of oil of anise, the beverage is called anisado mallorca or mallorca. 
Carabanchel is sweeter and contains more flavoring substance.
