Rum is too late, but cordials are not. Here's one from c. 1550 to 1625:
# 281 A CORDIALL WATER - c. 1550 to 1625
Take burrage & buglos flowers, as many as will [gap in MS] a still, & put
thereto as much sack & clare[t] as will wet them well. & to every pinte of
[cordial] water, you must put 2 ounces of white sugar candie & one grayne
of ambergreece, finely beaten. ye sugar candy must be put into ye glass
bottles & let ye water distill upon it very gently.
(From Martha Washington's Booke of Cookery, ed. by Karen Hess.)
There are some recipes out there. Don't get discouraged. >>
I'm not, but AFAIK neither sack nor claret is a distilled spirit.
