I'm not sure how long you've been on this list, but there have been
some nice discussions on cordials and what alchol to use in them
today. So, you might want to take a look at these two files in the
BEVERAGES section of the Florilegium:
bev-distilled-msg(118K)  9/22/00    Medieval distilled beverages. Distilling.

cordials-msg     (106K)  5/16/01    Period cordials and liqueurs. SCA creations.
