Nectars are a type of soft drink made by muddling the flesh of fruits or an alcoholic drink made from the fermentation of honey.

## Nectar (soft drink)

[edit]

Nectars are a type of non-carbonated soft drink made by muddling the flesh of fruits[citation needed]

In some countries, the beverage industry distinguishes nectars from drinks labeled as "juice". In the United States and the United Kingdom, the term "fruit juice" is restricted to beverages that are 100% pure juice, whereas a "nectar" may be diluted (to a degree limited by regulations) with water and contain additives besides fruit juice, including natural and artificial sweeteners, and preservatives.[1] In New Zealand, the usage is reversed, with "juice" denoting a sweetened fruit drink, whereas nectar refers to pure fruit.

## Nectar (alcoholic drink)

[edit]

Nectars are a variant of mead, alcohol fermented from honey. They are typically fermented to below 6% ABV, they often incorporate other flavours such as fruits, herbs and spices.
