I was thinking of one called a "Gas Giant" because it's really good but it makes people really far.....Well, let's put it this way: Some ships request you not have one for at least 6 hours prior to boarding.
 
There's also Jump Drive. A homemade moonshine that all starship engineers know how to make and it's only made during a jump. They will beat anyone caught making it if they are not a starship engineer or scout.

Wouldn't vacuum stills be common in traveller? BTW, as to improvised hooch, Joe Haldeman gave a nice depiction of a moonshine operation in his masterpiece "The forever war", and if you haven't read it yet you ought to.

How about an Azhanti high lightning?

A shot of everclear with 7 drops of vanilla in it to cut the taste a little...
 
Shouldn't that be an Azanti White Lightning?! :)

This is a great thread.....

Well, it could be an azhanti white lightning, that's a clever name, but then again think how "high" you'll be after drinking a few...:rofl:
 
Gin and Tonic

Remember the little bit of business in "A Hitchhikers' Guide te the Galaxy" where every popular drink in the universe was some sort of phonetic version of "Gin and Tonic?" Jinnean Ton Ix, etc... I also remember a something about being hit in the head with a gold brick that had a lemon tied to it, but that was a different drink entirely. I still like the Saphire, though.
 
How about one called the "Particle Accelerator" (formerly: Sweaty Lumberjack)

1/2oz Bourbon Whiskey
1/2oz Tobasco

Mix in a shot glass.

Its used as an initiation drink in the Imperial Navy, and all you have to do is hold it down or become its namesake.
 
BTW, the pan galactic gargleblaster is just right out, OK?
Generic library data:

Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster: 1) Imaginary drink featured in a pre-starflight Terran book of speculative fiction (See Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), supposedly the best drink in existence. 2) Any of a huge variety of drinks served all across Charted Space. A few recipes try to emulate the fictional ingredients of the original, but in most cases it is simply the most potently mind-altering and/or most complicated drink served in the bar.​
OK?

That drink would be: "The best drink in existence is the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. The effect of drinking one of these is rather like having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon, wrapped around a large gold brick."

Chocolate has sugar, and damn near anything with sugar in it ferments.

True that, I worked as Igor in a food lab years ago. We had a perfectly ordinary Christmas cake withdrawn from sale. It was getting an alcohol content as it sat on the shelves. The sugar in the icing & the moist cake had started to ferment.
 
A few I've collected over the years, culled from the sort of parties where they throw ammonium perchlorate on the floor for fun (it's like walking on Pop Rocks) and use liquid nitrogen to chill the drinks.

The Cosmonaut: Vodka and Tang.
The Yuri: Vodka and Grenadine, peppered.
Sour Wally, or The Apollo 7: Scotch and Lemon Juice over ice.
Saturn V: Sour mash, orange juice, and lemon.
Sputnik: vodka, vermouth, and an olive.
Soyuz: vodka, sugar, lemon.
Space Odyssey: Vodka, Rum, coconut milk, grenadine, pineapple juice, orange juice.
IRFNA, Tetroxide, or Oxidizer: Vermouth, tot of rum or gin, grenadine.
MMH, Hydrazine, or Monoprop: Single Malt Scotch, amaretto, tot of Creme de Menthe.
UDMH or Big Hydrazine: Blended scotch, vodka, lemon juice.
The Titan or the Hypergolic: Mix two parts IRFNA to one part MMH or UDMH.
The V-2: Jaegermeister and Peppermint Schapps.
The Second Sun, or The Bomb: Triple Sec with a layer of Bailey's Irish Cream on top. Plop in a teaspoon of Grenadine and watch.
The NERVA: Gin, vermouth, and blended banana. It'll register on a Geiger counter, for real.
Boundless Universe or The Infinite Loop: Laphroig, Bailey's, and a little Creme de Menthe.
Quantum Theory: Grand Marnier, rum, strega, pineapple juice, and a dollop of sweet and sour sauce.
The Event Horizon: Peppermint Schapps, milk, vodka, and a scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream. This one must be seen to be appreciated. No, I won't tell you what it does.
