Fruitballs
Fruitballs are mixed drinks in which the strong element is used to fortify a greater amount of the succulent element.
The elemental nature of Fruitballs can be expressed as: STRONG + SUCCULENT.
The elemental terminus ante quem for the Fruitball is currently in the year 1913.
The Fruitball reached its zenith during the second half of the twentieth century. The period of 1970 through 1999 can even be called the "era of the Fruitball."
There are no subgenres of Fruitballs.
Plain Fruitballs are usually made without any added sweetener, but one made with plain sugar or simple syrup would still be considered plain.
Fancy Fruitballs are sweetened, at least in part, by ingredients that have both sweetness, and other flavors.
