pruno – fermented in zip-loc bags from mashed fruit, water, bread (for the yeast) sugar and ketchup to make it taste nice – is popular in US jails despite apparently tasting of vomit, with which it has a surprising amount in common.
A-to-Z of Drink
Mead fermented honey, diluted with water and likely to be the earliest form of hooch (in colder latitudes) presumably having been the product of spontaneous fermentation. Has beard and sandal issues as far as marketing is concerned. Not tasting very nice doesn’t help either.
