Bestest Xmas gifts 2, and Maraschino 2

Lori got me a facsimile copy of Old Time Recipes for Home Made Wines, Cordials and Liqueurs from Fruits, Flowers, Vegetables and Shrubs, by Helen S. Wright, originally published in 1919 and gathered from a half dozen earlier (some much earlier) collections. The facsimile is published by Kessinger Publishing.

And right there on page 141 is a recipe for Maraschino:

One gallon proof whiskey, two quarts of water, dissolve four pounds of sugar, one third dram oil of bergamot, one third dram oil of cloves, two drops oil of cinnamon, two thirds ounce of nutmegs, bruised, five ounces of orange peel, one ounce of bitter almonds, bruised, one third dram oil of lemon. Dissolve the oil in alcohol; color with cochineal and burnt sugar.
