What is the difference between fresh toddy and arrack.

They are entirely different stages of the same process. Fresh coconut toddy is the naturally fermented sap collected directly from the palm flower, containing a very mild alcohol content of around 3 to 6 percent. Arrack, however, is a potent, hard liquor. It is produced by taking that fermented toddy and extensively distilling it in a factory until the alcohol volume reaches nearly 35 to 40 percent. Toddy is like a light, cloudy cider, while Arrack is similar to rum or whiskey.
