In ancient Greek mythology, ambrosia (greek: ἀμβροσία) is sometimes the food, sometimes the drink, of the gods, often depicted as conferring immortality on whoever consumes it.
Ambrosia is very closely related to the gods' other form of sustenance, nectar. The two terms may not have originally been distinguished, though in Homer's poems and later works, nectar is the drink and ambrosia the food. On the other hand, in Alcman, nectar is the food, and in Sappho and Anaxandrides, ambrosia is the drink. Both are fragrant, and may be used as perfume.

Lovely liquor thats looks green.
Ambrosia is an intoxicating alcoholic beverage, typically green in color. Ellen Tigh presents a bottle of ambrosia to her husband, Colonel Tigh, after they have reunited.
During a documentary on the military of the Fleet conducted by D'Anna Biers, an inebriated, cigarette-smoking Felix Gaeta reveals a tattoo and comments: "Ambrosia's good with a chaser. And if you have enough ambrosia-- didn't really hurt that much".
The luxury liner Cloud Nine offered ambrosia as a barside drink.
