Dagobah Slug Slinger

Dagobah Slug Slinger was a cocktail with a strong alcoholic base. It could be sweetened with either the slime of its namesake, the Dagobah swamp slug, or with an imitation syrup, Dagobah Slug Syrup. It was served at Oga's Cantina in Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu in 34 ABY. The human spy Vi Moradi drank the beverage there before she attempted to recruit for the Resistance.
The same year, Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included recipes for the cocktail and syrup in his cookbook The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook. At some point no earlier than 35 ABY, the drink was mentioned in a journal by Ardis San Tekka, the Galactic Society of Creature Enthusiasts' Director of Creature Cartography.
==Description==
The Dagobah Slug Slinger was a green-colored cocktail named after swamp slugs, a native species of the swamp planet Dagobah.Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know The large slugs secreted saccharine slime with fragrant notes from the herbs they had digested, and the slime was used to sweeten desserts and drinks. The cocktail's combination of sweet and herbaceous slime plus a tart citrus juice base masked its strong alcoholic content, which was said to have a stronger kick than a master of the martial art Teräs Käsi. The drink was garnished with a sprig of an herb.
==History==
The cocktail was served at Oga's Cantina in Black Spire Outpost on the Outer Rim planet Batuu in 34 ABY.The events of Oga's Cantina within Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge take place in 34 ABY, per the reasoning here. The cantina sweetened the drink with slime from swamp slugs that livedStar Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Traveler's Guide to Batuu in tanks along the bar back. One night in 34 ABY,Events depicted in the novel Galaxy's Edge: Black Spire are set in 34 ABY, per the reasoning here. Vi Moradi, a human female and Resistance spy, visited the cantina with her Batuuan coworkers after her first day's work for Savi & Son Salvage. Following her coworker Ylena's recommendation, Moradi started the night by imbibing a Dagobah Slug Slinger. After she bought the second round of drinks, she unsuccessfully attempted to recruit her new acquaintances for the Resistance.
Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs created an imitation syrup, Dagobah Slug Syrup, to use as a slime substitute when lacking a supply of slugs. In 34 ABY, Tuggs published his cookbook The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook, which included recipes for his imitation syrup and the Dagobah Slug Slinger. The same year, the historian Eloc Throno included a photo of Dagobah Slug Slinger in Batuu guidebook, Traveler's Guide to Batuu, listing it as one of Oga's Cantina's offerings.
At some point no earlier than 35 ABY, Galactic Society of Creature Enthusiasts' Director of Creature Cartography, Ardis San Tekka, and her safari droid B8-T5 visited Batuu while studying non-sentient creatures throughout the galaxy. While in Oga's Cantina, San Tekka tasted a Dagobah Slug Slinger while her droid conversed with the cantia's DJ, R-3X. Later, B8-T5 mentioned his owner consumption of a Dagobah Slug Slinger in an annotation in her journal, within a section about swamp slugs. In the same publication, San Tekka noted that the decadence of the swamp slugs' slime had led to smaller specimens of the species being exported from Dagobah and kept in captivity for chefs to harvest from them for dishes and drinks.
