I like coffee. I like Star Trek.
I’ve had a mild interest in the raktajino, a Klingon coffee drink commonly consumed in DS9. I’ve looked up a few fan theories and fan recipes. I haven’t seen any references to a canonical recipe, so I get that there’s a bit of fun and personal preference involved.
The only thing I don’t understand is why raktajino is commonly claimed to be made with liquor. On the one hand, I understand why Klingons might want a stiff additive to their caffeine. However, the context in which characters on DS9 drink it does not suggest the presence of intoxicants. I recall at least a few occasions in which bridge officers, while on duty, drink a raktajino. Surely even synthol is not OK when you’re on shift for Starfleet.
Still no prune juice
Coffee+Prune juice = Emergency teleport to the nearest restroom/holodeck.
They just beam the poops out!
See that’s what I said!
It’s a popular theory that I first encountered on The Greatest Generation, though I think it must have come up organically many times since the 1960s!
Oh, man, it would’ve been PERFECT if they sold that. I regret not going when I had the chance.
