- 1英國西南部那種烈性、常帶混濁的蘋果酒（不是台灣的「蘋果西打」汽水）
Scrumpy is a strong alcoholic drink made from apples — a kind of cider, but not the clear, sweet, shop kind. It is the rough, often cloudy farm cider of south-west England (Somerset, Devon, and around there), usually stronger than ordinary cider, and it can sneak up on you. The name feels local and a bit rural; people outside Britain may not know it. It is not a children's drink, and it is not apple juice. In a pub you might hear I'll have a pint of scrumpy. Though actually, how 'farmy' and how strong it is depends on the maker: some scrumpy is a brand using the old country name, not a from a barn.
組成scrump + -y. The ending -y here makes a drink-name from scrump (the fruit-taking / apple world). Some people wonder whether it shares old 'little amount' roots with scrumptious; that is only a maybe, not a sure link.
