Vermouth: Italian or French: a fortified wine, made with an infusion 
of herbs and roots. The addition to gin to make a classic Martini, 
also known as Gin and French (Dry Martini) and Gin and It (sweet Martini).

Calvados: French Apple Brandy. (Normandy region AC)

Baerenjaeger: German herb/honey spirit.

Apfelkorn I don't know, but would expect to be a form of German 
ApfelSchnapps: apple infused spirit.
