The Libation Colosseum:

O Muse, O Atlantia, hear and attend the revels of Saturnalia!

Of the feast of Sigillaria, where flows sweet mustum, the wine and honey of celebration

Where the Braciatrix Regia, seeking the inspiration of brewers of Atlantia

Sets this challenge to her fellows:

Bring forth your sweetened, your spiced, your scented libations

Beyond fair mustum, serve her forth your offerings

Of wine and sweetness and herb and spice and flower

To entrance the palate and sweeten the celebration

And perhaps to win the favor of the Brewster herself

The Royal Brewster Lady Eva Nethyrwode sets this challenge to the brewers of Atlantia: Bring your take on a flavored mustum, the honey-wine mixture served at Saturnalia, which was often flavored with spices, herbs, flowers, and other aromatic ingredients. De Re Culinaria by Apicius is a good place to start for inspiration, but feel the Muse while crafting your offering. The Brewster and her circle of judges from among the brewers of Atlantia will enjoy aperitifs ahead of Evening Court and award the Brewster’s favor to their favorite libation.

Please bring documentation that at least meets EZ Documentation standards, and a comprehensive list of all ingredients. As vinegar is a form of wine, nonalcoholic entries in the form of an oxymeli or sekanjabin are not only valid, but encouraged.
