Thread Name: Folklore: Ratafee (strong drink)
Subject: RE: Folklore: Ratafee (strong drink
I believe that I have a couple of recipes at home, if anybody'd like them. I first heard of the stuff through the Unfortunate Miss Bailey as well. the Kingston Trio called it ratafia, which they explained in a brief prologue, and Burl Ives called the drink turpentine. I just thought he was censoring out the mention of liquor in a humorous way. I did get the record while I was still a kid after all.
