___ is an alcoholic beverage made with pears.

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

Answer: (B)

Identifying beverages by the fruit used in fermentation. An alcoholic beverage made from pears is perry. Perry is to pears what cider is to apples: it’s produced by fermenting pear juice, yielding a refreshing, pear-forward drink. Historically common in Britain and parts of Europe, you might also see “pear cider” marketed in some places, but traditional naming is perry. The other options aren’t pear-based: cider is made from apples, mead is honey wine, and braggot is a beer-wine hybrid usually made with honey and malt.
