A medieval drink made from ale or beer mixed with honey, eggs, and spices (also called 'bracket'); a type of fortified ale.
From Middle English 'bragget' or 'brachet,' possibly from Old Norse or Old English sources. The term appears in medieval English texts and Scandinavian sources, referring to a popular fermented beverage. The drink's name may derive from words meaning 'to brew' or 'to ferment,' reflecting its preparation method.
