Possets
Possets are mixed drinks in which alcoholic products are thickened, sweetened, and often aromatized.
The elemental nature of Possets can be expressed as: SWEET + STRONG + THICK.
Possets can also contain accents of aromatic ingredients as the fourth element.
When made using the modern 'shake' method with ice to mix and chill, water will also be added.
The terminus ante quem for Possets is currently in the year 1425.
Possets are one of the genres of mixed drinks with heavy Anglophone history on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Drinks like Rum Eggnog and Tom & Jerry are considered just as organic to American culture as Cider Posset and Egged Nog‡ were once to English cutlure.
