Not sure if it is period or not, but the same florilegium section yields
instructions for steeping fruit in vinegar to make a fruit-flavored
vinegar that would work well, and I'm not sure, but I think the two
drinks referred to using fruit vinegar.

No dear. Never. Just helpful. And always willing to offer any help you
can. I am very grateful for your assistance. I had just been looking
beverage stuff up, and seen the reference- I was just soooo pleased that
I could direct you to help, for a change, and the opportunity to tease
you a little along the way was more fun than I could resist!
