Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

What potent drink recipe can we create for inclusion in the remake of the show?

reference, south of Equator in December... bushfires: "The most severe fires peaked from December 2019"

Since gasses in the air seem to be a heat factor leading to surface fires... a better name than "fire-baton" that has planetary gas-buildup in the name theme?

Fire + tornado = Firenado

One of our kids had to do a middle school project on disasters some years back, and picked these. I silently thought ‘not in Canada.’

I was absolutely wrong.

Quark would love the name.

What's in it? Something Canadian?

Is the video region-blocked?

Here’s a CNN link to the same video from the BC Fire Service.

The video is fine... I'm asking what is in the drink, served at Quarks....

Canadian Club 100% Rye Canadian Whisky?

[–] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well, now rye is a classic but democratic choice. I can see Quark seeking out something more exclusive - and high enough proof to be flammable. This should involve some flamboyant displays of bartending.

Glenora Distillery in Nova Scotia produces a genuine malted barley whiskey (aka scotch) called Glen Breton.

That said the firenado was in BC, home of long established wineries. The has its own higher end craft brandy and liqueur makers.

Yukon Territory has its own fairly high proof Wildberry Brandy made from regionally sourced fruits. At 40% alcohol, a layer of this on top would be workable for a flaming drink.
