Book excerpt: Found in the archive at Alnwick Castle, this little book features some of the oldest recipes for cocktails and cordials ever recorded. As well as tasting delicious, many of them have health-giving properties to treat everyday ailments such as asthma, weakness, balm and lip salve. To make Raspberry Wine: Take ripe Raspberries bruise them with the back of a spoon, strain them, and fill a Bottle with the Juice stop it but not very close, and set it by 4 or 5 Days: then pour it off from the Dregs, and add thereto as much Rhenish or White Wine, as the Juice will well colour; that done sweeten your Wine with Loaf Sugar, and bottle it up for Use.
