# List of fictional drinks

Many works of fiction have incorporated into their world the existence of beverages or drinks – liquids made for popular consumption – which may create a sense of the world in which the story takes place, and in some cases may serve to advance the plot of the story. These products may be fictional brands which serve as a stand in for brand names, and in that capacity may be a vessel for mockery of the marketing culture associated with brand name products (e.g., Duff Beer from The Simpsons; Buzz Beer from The Drew Carey Show). In science fiction, beverages from alien races may enhance the sense of a futuristic society (e.g. Romulan Ale in Star Trek).
While there are many fictional liquids that can be consumed, fictional liquid medicines and magical potions (such as the liquid that causes Alice to shrink in Alice in Wonderland) may not be widely available for common consumption, or may simply not be described as being used for that purpose, and thus would not be considered "beverages" at all.

## Alcoholic or intoxicating beverages
### In literature and print

| Beverage | Source | Date of first mention | Description and significance |
| Moloko Plus (Nadsat for "Milk Plus") | A Clockwork Orange | 1962 | Aka "milk with knives in it"; drunk by the protagonist to get him in the mood for "a bit of the old ultraviolence" In the film, Moloko Plus is milk laced with one of three (possibly illegal) drugs, Vellocet, Synthemesc and Drencrom. Alex and his droogs prefer the version containing Drencrom. |
| Herzwesten beer | The Drawing of the Dark | 1979 | A dark beer, produced only every seven hundred years, that has supernatural properties. |
| Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster | The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy | 1978 | A legendary cocktail invented by Zaphod Beeblebrox, based on "Old Janx Spirit." The effect of drinking it is "like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick." Many real-life recipes for this drink exist. |
| Victory Gin | Nineteen Eighty-Four | 1949 | A cheap, low-quality drink supplied by the government. It has a "sickly, oily smell" and tastes like nitric acid; swallowing it gives "the sensation of being hit on the back of the head with a rubber club." Winston Smith, the protagonist, frequently drinks it despite its disagreeable taste and smell. Only party members have access to Victory Gin; beer (which is of much better quality than Victory Gin) is the drink of the proles, while wine (which Winston finds disappointingly bland) is only available to the Inner Party. In the 2018 film Terminal, Annie as a waitress serves Bill a drink of Victory Gin, the gin from George Orwell's 1984. |
| Vesper | Casino Royale | 1953 | Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel.

| Pinot Grand Fenwick | The Mouse That Roared | 1955 | A wine made in the fictional Duchy of Grand Fenwick, an independent microstate from Leonard Wibberley's Grand Fenwick series. The wine is the Duchy's primary export, and is described as a favourite of wine connoisseurs. Particularly popular in the US, this wine inspired the cheap, Californian, imitation Pinot Grand Enwick, and issue which prompted the events of The Mouse That Roared. In the sequel novel The Mouse on the Moon a variant of the wine is discovered to have nuclear properties, such that a simple reaction with iron-filings creates enough energy to propel a space ship. |

## Fictional beverages later marketed

Some real-life beverages were created and marketed after appearing as fictional, as is the case with Duff Beer from the TV show The Simpsons. To promote The Simpsons Movie, convenience store 7-Eleven marketed a Duff-branded energy drink.
* Booty Sweat – Tropic Thunder
* Brawndo – Idiocracy
* Duff Beer – The Simpsons
* Squishee – The Simpsons
* Swill – Saturday Night Live
* Buzz Cola – The Simpsons
* Nuka-Cola produced by Jones Soda during the launch of Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 and again in 2024 after the release of the Fallout TV series.
* Romulan Ale – at the Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas, NV.
* Romulan Ale – an energy drink created and marketed by Boston America Corp.
* Klingon Raktajino – also available previously at the Star Trek Experience.
* Slurm – Futurama
* Victory Gin – In the late 1980s and early 1990s UK off licence chain Victoria Wine sold an own brand of gin called Victory Gin. It was not deliberately styled after the unpalatable product in Nineteen Eighty-Four; rather, it was originally called Portsmouth Gin, but this presumably caused confusion with Plymouth Gin. The name was changed to Victory, after Nelson's famous flagship HMS Victory, a tourist attraction in Portsmouth, the marketers presumably unaware of the brand's literary namesake.
