Twinkle Mead

"I can't wait until our 16th birthday when we can try Twinkle Mead!"
"Yeah, me too. It's so pretty."

Twinkle Mead is made from Sparkle Honey, which comes from Lightning Bees. The mead is mostly made in Applefield, but is drunk all over Octiragrin and is exported all over Octiria including down the Fire Silk Road. A competition occurs at the Fall Apple Festival to choose the best brewer of the year who is honored with blue ribbon labels for his/her bottles.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

Due to the sparkling property of Sparkle Honey, Twinkle Mead does what its name implies--it twinkles. It also effervesces. Depending on the ingredients and the process used to ferment it, Twinkle Mead ranges from roughly the same alcohol content as an average ale to as potent as an aged whiskey.

Significance

It is fairly significant since it is often the first alcolic beverage sampled by a sixteen year old on their coming of age day. Sixteen-year-olds are usually started on one of the less potent vintages (unless their drinking companions have a particularly malicious or pranking nature).
