Missing a Vodka based Pavel Chekhov fans coktail

"You'd howl too if your figs were frozen." was from Endless Summer 2.

Some Real Trek Tipples....

Aldeberan Whiskey
A potent green liquor that Scotty was particularly fond of. Then again, he’d be fond of tribbles if he could suck hooch out of them. The prop bottle used in the series is actually a modified bottle of Cuervo Gold 1800 Tequila.

Blood Wine
A variety of super-fortified Klingon vino, Worf programmed the replicators aboard the latter-day Enterprise to produce a close approximation. Served warm, it is traditionally pounded by Klingon warriors being inducted into the elite Order of the Bat’lesth. If you fancy yourself a more sophisticated intergalactic marauder, you can add a splash to gin and vermouth and you got yourself a Klingon Martini. The prop bottle was a bottle of Cuervo Margarita Mix with a coat of white paint.

Chateau Picard
A fine wine produced at the Picard family vineyards in Labarre, France. Probably about 2% alcohol, it hits you like the slap of a silk glove. As opposed to Kirk Ripple which is 25% and comes on like a flying two-legged kick.

Finagle’s Folly
Perfected by Kirk’s personal physician/mixologist Dr. Leonard McCoy, he bragged to Kirk he was famous "from here to Orion" for this cocktail. By the expression on Kirk’s face after he tasted it, he was thinking, “You mean, infamous, don’t ya, Bones?”

Kanar
The Glennfiddich of Cardassia, this viscous brown liquid apparently takes some getting used to. But, as the Cardassians like to say, “If you can drink three bottles in a single setting you won’t get a hangover. Because you’ll be dead.”

Mot'loch
A potent Klingon booze that is traditionally guzzled as part of a traditional observance of the Klingon Day of Honor. The observance includes the Ritual of Twenty Painsticks, combat with a bat'leth master, and a traverse of the sulfur lagoons of Gorath. Makes St. Patty’s Day look like an AA meeting.

Romulan Ale
This real ale (as in real fucking strong) brewed by the Romulan Empire is illegal to possess in Federation territory, although the crew of the Enterprise never seemed to have any problem getting their hands on it. Light blue in color, it is responsible for at least one war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire (Kirk thought it was a bright idea to serve it during a diplomatic conference.) While the quality of their booze is beyond reproach, the uptight Romulans make for poor party guests. They’re so un-hip even their glassware is square.

Samarian Sunset
A cocktail sometimes prepared by Commander Data. It initially appears clear, but develops a multicolored hue when the rim of the glass is tapped sharply. Don’t know what it tastes like, but I’ll wager it’s a little fruity.

Saurian Brandy
The intergalactic version of Thunderbird. Enjoyed by Captain Kirk, and sometimes the crew when he wasn’t hogging it all. This liquor seems readily available on even the most backwater of planets and was responsible for Kirk landing in the brig at least once. The prop bottle was actually a George Dickel Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey carafe.

Synthehol
This is the infamous alcohol-substitute served up by the Ferengi on the latter-day Star Trek spin-offs. It’s designed to supply the taste and odor of alcohol, without the hangover and kick. Check, please!

Tzartak Aperitif
Specialty beverage served by Guinan in the Enterprise-D's Ten Forward lounge. The drink is adjusted so its vapor point is one half degree below the body temperature of the patron, causing it to immediately evaporate upon contact with the drinker's tongue. You know, like Bud Light.

Tamarian Frost
Sweet drink served in Ten-Forward Lounge, this one is strictly for yeomen and androids.

Telluridian Synthale
A drink prized by the surviving colonists on the planet Turkana IV, the beverage was scarce enough to become a commodity worth stealing from opposing cadres. Sounds to me like the writers like to take ski vacations in Colorado.

Vulcan Port
Very intoxicating to alien races, the Vulcans claimed this insanely strong liquor merely served to clear their minds and palettes. Uh huh. My dad used to say the same thing about Jim Beam. Reportedly tasting like crap until it’s been aged at least two-hundred years, it is not recommended for the casual homebrewer.

Warnog
The Klingons claim warnog is a ferocious ale with more bite than a Kazakian Saber Shark, but it sounds to me like they’re trying to toughen up the local version of eggnog.

Wee Bairns Scotch Whiskey
Chief O'Brien and Dr Bashir got loaded on this stuff then proceeded to launch into an off-key rendition of "Chariots of Fire." You know, the same effect Zima has on theater majors. Suddenly Klingon Blood Wine doesn’t sound so bad.

人呐

freakin' sweet

FAKE!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max went to Las Vegas for a convention and spent the entire time getting drunk, and not posting comments to his favorite website.

i miss figs/diseased vaginas

Seems like this was all TOS stuff, we can look forward to TNG drinks soon I hope

hmmmm....love/laugh the cocktails...but they seem too classy for trekkies...no?

this reminds me of the time that i decided to follow the summer around the world, and sleep with a space hooker from every planet in the federation on the way. good times, but in australia, my partner was all obsessed with the revealing nature of the ladies bikini's and also with riding the perfect wave from some 50 year storm, and so i let him go knowing that he'd die. then gary busey bit me really hard on the calve, and since then i've been out here begging. Thank you sir, thank... Half a dinare for me bloody lifestory!

Not a star trek fan at all, but a booze fan definitely ☻

Eh... I could pass, but the bf loved them.

Don't forget Romulan Ale: Equal parts Baccardi 151 rum, Blue Curacao and Everclear....

well, it's not Star Trek related, but the drink that always dropped me by the 3rd round was the "GhostBuster":
Any beer/party cup (prefer not see through)
shot glass (larger/double works best)
2oz. Bacardi 151- poured into beer cup
2-3oz Cola - in beer cup with bacardi
1oz Bailey's - in shot glass
1oz Kahlua - in shot glass, on top of bailey's
**Stand over sink or outside**
Take Shot glass in one hand, beer cup in the other.
Drop shot glass into beer cup & drink the ENTIRE drink before it foams up and makes a giant mess.

Tastes pretty good, but fair warning - by the 2nd round, you'll be talking trash, saying the drink is nothing, then somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd, you will fall on your ass.

Happy puking!

wheres the sulu?

its basically a seabreeze

but comes with 2 umbrellas

none of these hold up to the Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster
(a cocktail based on Janx SpiritTake the juice from one bottle of that Ol' Janx Spirit.)

Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V
Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).
Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it (in memory of all those happy Hikers who have died of pleasure in the Marshes of Fallia).
Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint extract, redolent of all the heady odours of the dark Qualactin Zones.
Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger. Watch it dissolve, spreading the fires of the Algolian suns deep into the heart of the drink.
Sprinkle Zamphour.
Add an olive.
Drink...but very carefully

warning ... effects will resemble having your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick

seriously though ... theres a bar in Ottawa Canada called Zaphod Beeblebrox that serves these

theres one here in Manchester NH called "strange brew" that also sells these.... i prefer the Manchester version

in the mudd slide those chunks don't look like ice. If you wanted the desired effect maybe you should try corn.

mmmm corn

...you can enjoy it twice!!

I enjoy what I call "the who needs TV?"

In a large glass, fill halfway with ice
pour vodka until glass is 3/5th full
fill the rest with cranapple

Two to three of these a day keep me medicated and happy.

theres a place called margaritias that makes a '"Heavens to Murgatroyd" which is a pastel purple margarita that tastes like razzles (or sprees)

you can pound a few of them and not realise youre drunk till you stand and realise gravity works

remember kids... you arent drunk unless you have to hold onto the grass to keep yourself from falling off the planet

Don't forget the Warp Core Breach drink at Quarks that used to be in the Las Vegas Hilton (now being moved to the Neonopolis). Complete with dry ice chips to simulate smoke.

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Warp_core_breach_(beverage)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UZO1s_ldyQ

First we use a 120 ounce Warp Core Bowl. You might be able to find something close a places like Pier 1 Imports or Home to Home. If you want the bubble effect you'll need some dry ice. Place a small amount of water 1 ounce on the bottom of the bowl and then pack it with ice. This will fuse the dry ice to the bottom of the bowl so it does not float to the top.

The recipe is as follows;
2 ounces Bacardi 151 Rum,
1 1/2 ounces each of Bacardi Limon, Bacardi Spice, Bacardi Select and Bacardi Light,
2 ounces of Razzmatazz or a quality Raspberry Liqueur,
Top that off with 30 ounces of a high quality berry juice. Suggestions are Snapple Aceola Berry, Sobe Power or other energy or natural beverages similar. Stay away from anything such as cranberry, it's too bitter.

Wow, many of you are really quite impressive. I'm going to have to give the big prize to dwarfer, though, for sheer depth of geek/beverage knowledge and for starting the ball rolling on interesting comments.

BTW "first!" is intergalactic-speak for "Loser!"

NEVER use Glenfiddich as a mix. I'd damn well never serve it on the rocks. Grant's is a substitute, similar type of scotch but much cheaper

I once had the pleasure of flying in Mr. Doohan for a weekend and I can confirm that he drank Dewars!

These are too funny. I love the Tribbles.

Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V
Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).
Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it (in memory of all those happy Hikers who have died of pleasure in the Marshes of Fallia).
