  [Alchermes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchermes) could be a good hint, in Italy is used as an ingredient in [Zuppa inglese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuppa_Inglese), a particular derivation of trifle ...as you are trying to do.
  
  Just a reminder, I don't think it is really good to drink it as a glass of wine, but perfect with desserts.
