Mead is an alcoholic drink made by fermenting honey with water. It is not beer or grape wine, though some producers make all three. Flavors range from dry to sweet, and some are made with fruit or botanicals.

If you want to taste mead alongside beer and wine in Costa Rica, see the tastings near San José.
