And, of course, coffee and chocolate.

Apples and pears are made into cider and perry, then Calvados. Plums are made into jerkum then slivovitz. There are 'wines' made of elderflowers and elderberries, also sloes and mulberries, dates and plum-dates, peaches, cherries and lychees. (Some of them commercially). Toddy is made from palm sap and I think coconut water. I mentioned tuak and arrack before.
