Fortified Beverages
- Fortified wine: Fortified wine is wine with an added distilled beverage (usually brandy). Fortified wine is distinguished from spirits made from wine in that spirits are produced by means of distillation, while fortified wine is simply wine that has had a spirit added to it. Many different styles of fortified wine have been developed, including Port, Sherry, Madeira, Marsala, Commandaria wine and the aromatized wine Vermouth.
- Mixed drinks: Mixed drinks include alcoholic mixed drinks (cocktails, flaming beverages, fortified wines, mixed drink shooters and drink shots) and non-alcoholic mixed drinks (including punches). Blending and caffeinated alcoholic drinks may also be called mixed drinks.

Famous quotes containing the word fortified:
“Our rural village life was a purifying, uplifting influence that fortified us against the later impacts of urbanization; Church and State, because they were separated and friendly, had spiritual and ethical standards that were mutually enriching; freedom and discipline, individualism and collectivity, nature and nurture in their interaction promised an ever stronger democracy. I have no illusions that those simpler, happier days can be resurrected.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
