Drinks of Gor


~Drinks~


Bazi Tea A popular drink in the Tahari and several other select areas, it is drunk in three tiny cups, heavily sugared. Brewed fresh from bazi tea leaves, we can assume the tea itself to be quite strong.

Blackwine Brewed from blackwine beans grows primarily in Thentis, this drink is rather expensive due to limited trading of the product. This drink is served hot and is very similar to Earthen coffee though is much stronger. Normally served with sugars and creams. If served 'second slave' it is served black with no sweeteners.

Chocolate Warmed chocolate, sugared, is popular in some cities. The cocoa beans originally brought over from the Voyages of Acquisition are now grown in the jungles of Gor themselves.

Ka-la-na A full bodied wine distilled from the fruit of the ka-la-na tree. It is red in color and can be served cold warm or even hot (as is prefered in Treve). The best and sweetest comes from the Plains of Ka-la-na and the most famous bottlers of this wine are from Glorious Ar. This drink can symbolize romantic love.

Kal-da A hot drink, almost scalding, made from citrus juice, cheap kalana and stinging spices. This is a rather cheap drink through it will get you drunk... sooner or later.. and can be considered quite good atleast until you reach the bottom of the pot.

Larma Juice This is one of the many types of fruit juices available on Gor. Served cool and at times sold from stands to passing travelers within or around a city.

Mead Fermented with honey, this sweet drink is popular among those in Torvaldsland and other outlying areas. Traditionally served in a drinking horn.

Milk Three types of milk are mentioned within the books. Bosk milk which is thick and sweet, verr milk which is much like goat milk and sand kaiila milk which is redish colored and very salty.

Paga A grain based alcohol, fermented from sa-tarna, it is normally served slightly warm and is a light golden color. Rather similar to sour-mash liquor in the way it is produced, it sometimes symbolizes physical love.

Sul Paga A clear, almost tasteless alcohol distilled from suls. It is normall found in peasant villages and is said to be so strong that the babies of peasants born nine months later are born drunk. It is similar to everclear and can be served at any temperature prefered though slightly warm is the standard.

Ta Wine A wine created from the ta grapes in the vineyards of Cos, it is redish in color (or atleast the grapes themselves are) and normally would then be served at room temperature.

Turian Liquor Thick sweet liquors, served in tiny glasses, rather like the dessert wines of Earth. Turian liquors are said to be some of the best liquors on Gor.

Turian Wine Thick syrupy wines, flavored and sugared to the point where one could almost leave their fingerprint upon the surface of the drink. It is a very acquired taste.

Wine There are many types of wine available on Gor. Though not all are specifically mentioned there are various passing references to the varieties of wines served at dinners throughout the books. Therefor hearing someone ask for a 'white wine' or a 'dry red wine' should not cause shock.
