Which beverage is primarily honey-based?

• A. Mead
• B. Cider
• C. Perry
• D. Braggot

Answer: (A)

The main concept here is identifying a beverage whose primary ingredient is honey. Mead fits this perfectly because it is produced by fermenting honey with water, and honey is the dominant fermentable sugar in the drink. It often includes fruits, spices, or hops, but the base is honey, giving it the characteristic honey-forward profile.

Cider, on the other hand, is made from fermented apple juice, and Perry is made from pear juice, so their primary bases are fruit juices rather than honey. Braggot is a hybrid that combines honey with malted grains (beer elements), so while it contains honey, it’s not primarily honey-based. So the best answer is mead.
