A round piece of candy or confection flavored with brandy, or a ball-shaped drink or dessert containing brandy.
From 'brandy' (fortified wine from Dutch 'brandewijn') + 'ball' (spherical shape). A Victorian-era confection term.
Brandyballs represent a lost Victorian world of elaborate booze-laced candies—when getting tipsy from eating dessert was apparently considered perfectly respectable entertaining.
