Beverage of the Gods

If thou dost consider thyself unfit to ascend to the divine realm, then we advise thee to abstain from ingesting this concoction.
For the most dauntless and daring of souls, I shall deploy the recipe for this u̶n̶holy cocktail of cocktails:

First, thou shalt combine strawberry jam with barbecue sauce, and this beverage shall be called Strabeque.
Then thou shalt combine milk and Pepsi in a likewise manner to create Pilk, and thou shalt do the same with Sprite and Nyquil to form Lean. And ramen shall likewise be added to gasoline to concoct Gamen.

Then shall the Strabeque and Pilk be combined to be as one, and it shall be called Strabequpilk, as the Nyquil and the Lean shall be mixed together to form Leagamen.

And finallyl thou shalt combine Strabequpilk with Leagamen to concoct the prized Beverage of the Gods.

Everyone on YouTube is far too cowardly to try the true Beverage of the Gods. They all omit the gasoline or replace it with another fluid.

Synthetic Beverages

Drinks created through artificial processes rather than traditional brewing, fermentation, or extraction—lab-grown coffee, synthesized wine, engineered energy drinks, and water that's literally manufactured. Synthetic beverages promise consistency (every batch exactly the same), sustainability (no farms, no shipping), and novelty (flavors that never existed in nature). They also promise to confuse connoisseurs, who will insist that wine requires terroir and coffee requires mountains. The science is advancing: we can synthesize caffeine, flavor compounds, and alcohol without plants. The challenge is complexity—real beverages have hundreds of compounds interacting in ways we don't fully understand. Synthetic beverages are getting closer, but they're not quite there yet. Give it time; chemistry is patient.

Synthetic Beverages Example: "The bar served synthetic wine—made in a lab, no grapes involved, chemically identical to a fine Bordeaux. Wine snobs couldn't tell the difference in blind tastings, which infuriated them. When told it was synthetic, they suddenly found flaws. The wine was fine; the psychology was broken. Synthetic beverages had succeeded technically but failed socially, at least for now."
