Small Laser

Note: Most bartenders would probably know this drink as a Buttery Nipple.

• 1/2 shot of Irish Cream
• 1/2 shot of Buttershots

Missile Weapon Systems

LRM-5

• 1 shot of Goldschläger
• 1 shot of Scotch
• 1 shot of Chambord or Black Razberry

(To increase to -10, -15, or -20 - increase the ingredients 2, 3, or 4 times respectively.) (Blood Wine Variant: add Club Soda or Sprite.)

SRM-2

• 1 shot of Sambucca
• 1 shot of Ameretto

(To increase to -4 or -6, double or triple the ingredients.)

Inferno SRM-2

• 1 shot of Sambucca
• 1 shot of Amaretto
• 2 shots of Goldschläger
• 2 Coffee Beans
• Combine ingredients in a cordial glass (a wine glass will work if you don't have one of these). Light'er up and let'er burn for six turns (1 minute) before extinguishing. Enjoy. You can double or triple the amount if you want an Inferno-4 or Inferno-6. In that case, the burn time increases as follows:

• Inferno-4: 09 turns (1 & 1/2 minutes)
• Inferno-6: 12 turns (2 minutes)

(If you go for the 4 or 6, I suggest a pilsner glass (a tall glass that looks like an inverted cone). In any case, let the drink sit for a few moments drinking unless you want a scalded tongue.)

Other Drinks

Stellar Stinger

You can get a Stellar Stinger in any bar on Galaina, but you can't get one anywhere else. The key ingredient is the Sideria orange (not a true orange, but a sweet citrus fruit) which grows on Galaina. Attempts have been made to ship it, but it does not travel well. Another ingredient is Zocco, a local root-based alcohol product, very neat, very dry, and extremly potent. Crush a catabal leaf in the leaf in the bottom of a chilled glass. Then fill the glass with crushed ice. Combine ingredients and pour over the crushed ice. Handle with care. (Described in the Federated Commonwealth travel guide to Galaina, circa 3041.)

Main

• 2 shots of Zocco
• the juice from one Sideria orange
• a dash of Triple Sec

Variant

((when primary ingredients are unavailable, Served on the rocks)
