Mulsum (drink)

[2][3] Mulsum was usually the drink offered at the beginning of the Roman dinner in conjunction with the "gustus", what we would call the course of appetizers.

The best mulsum was obtained from the must resulting from the half-complete crushing of grapes coming from vines cultivated near trees and harvested in dry days.

[5] Pliny on the other hand, recommends old wine mixed with boiled honey in order to make mulsum.

[5] Mulsum is an alcoholic drink, with a sweet taste, very similar to mead (which is made by the fermentation of water and honey).

The Fair of Honey is celebrated in November, by the people of Llubí, Mallorca, the Balearic Islands, in Spain.
