Invigorates.

Metcalf, The White Veil, 1909


If the October days were a cordial like the sub-acids of fruit, these are a tonic like the wine of iron. Drink deep or be careful how you taste this December vintage. The first sip may chill, but a full draught warms and invigorates.

John Burroughs, from "Winter Sunshine"
