Are you just looking for period drinks or can they be modern?  I have a couple at home that I can share, one of which is definitely modern, the other a recipe for lemoncello that I've pretty much figured is out of period, but has still been around for a while...while it's not striclty a "drink" but more of a liqueur, it is very tasty.
