I wonder if anyone has attempted to make Strupo…
Also “maple mead” is mentioned and even a minor plot element in Lois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan series.
Never mind
How to make TP booze:
Here ya go. The invention of durian wine.
I was going to say diabetic urine but then I looked it up…
Urine has been fermented for at least the creation of cleaning chemicals.
What about grasses? Could you make an alcoholic beverage from alfalfa? Kentucky bluegrass? Zoysia grass?
Or marijuana? I don’t just mean infusing a wine with it.
Allow me to introduce you to one of our local businesses. Not horse milk, exactly, but in the same spirit:
Set in Almonte, Ontario, Dairy Distillery is crafting this local vodka with the use of unused milk sugar from local dairy farms.
I think I know where they acquired it.
Maize is a grass, and they make lots of alcohol from that. But that’s a special case.
Otherwise, there’s virtually no sugar in grasses, so it wouldn’t make much alcohol directly. However, cellulose can be broken down to simple sugar to make alcohol. @kenobi_65 has already posted this link, but here it is again.
BTW, alfalfa is not a grass, but the cellulosic alcohol applies to that as well.
Banana based wine is popular in parts of East Africa
What are the traditional beverages of Burundi? - FoodNerdy Recipes Management System
Wheat, rye, barley, and many other things are grass. The human species as a whole largely subsists on eating grass (seeds).
Saki and bourbon and rye and beer and rum and …
There are a whole bunch of maple based liquors available, produced in VT.
If it’s gross, just wash it down with a nice Skittlebrau.
Recipe & review:
It’s not bad per say [sic], just don’t choke on a Skittle while chugging your beer. The Skittles impart color more than flavor, but you can eat the candy at the end and try to guess which flavor is which (they’ll all be white and anonymous by then).
Oh, yeah! I’m ready to wax eloquently about ham wine. “On the front of the tongue one encounters acorn, and dare I say it, mud? Washing over the palate is a musty, umami swirl of late childhood angst mixed with bad potatoes. The finish is altogether more subtle then I expected and Honey Baked comes to mind.”
It is already made but I’ll throw in wine made from the cashew “apple” from which the cashew nut hangs. This scene of the distillation process shows that you don’t need much in the way of equipment. Looks like a piece of Amelia Earhart’s plane.
