"Only in the bizarro Scandinavian pilsner tyrrany is mead considered an inferior product." I quite agree. Although I wouldn't feel comfortable adding spritzer to mead. A good ale perhaps as to mix your own neoprotean braggot.

Mead is quite delicious on it's own. Lightly chilled for summer consumption, served from a pitcher or a carafe that has one of those ice pouches. I like the idea of adding a dash of bitters to the glass too.

Had to go with what was on hand.

A dry cyser. Floral and tart with a nice honey finish.

No lemons but I had a lime White Claw hard seltzer adding about 5% ABV to the mix.

I gotta say it would be refreshing on a hot summer day like today. Oh shit. It is refreshing on a hot summer day like today.
