1937 Here is Something that will interest you (3 rd edition)

CuRAgAOj one of the oldest Liqueurs, is chiefly made from spirit, sugar and dried orange peel; but there are a great many different varieties of Curafao, because there are many distillers who make this Liquetir, and each has his own method. It is the same with other Liqueurs. There are, for instance, a great many varieties of cherries, many different quahties of brandies, and many ways of distilling Liqueurs from cherries; cherry brandy, cherry whisky, kirsch, maraschino, noyau, are all primarily made from cherries, but they are all quite distinct; and in each category of these Liqueurs there are varying degrees offlavour, taste,strength,price and quality. Stone fruit, such as apricots, peaches, cherries,and sloes make very good Liqueurs; black currants (or cassis) also give excellent results. Mint is of all herbs the most exten sively used by distillers in the making of Liqueurs justly popular for their digestive properties called "Peppermipt", or Creme de Menthe, left white or coloured green, made with brandy or grain spirit. Caraway seeds used in medicine for their stimulant and carminative action, are largely used in the distillation of Kummel; and from the anise fruit, which is a good stomachic. Aniseed and Anisette are distilled.
