SC - Liqueurs

[pat fee]

I have found documentation on liqueurs being period in Italy.  These were 
simple fruit/sugar concoctions that were of a necessity made for and by the 
rich,the cost of sugar being what it was. As soon as I finish moving and can 
unpack the scanner Is will hunt for this and post it.
