By the way, I did manage to get access to the drinks in the posh bar. As usual, it is just a matter of tricky syntax and trying all the words that appear and might seem likely. 'Syntax move' is your friend here...
As for the contents, which didn't have any aftereffects on me appart from making me drunk, we have the following (and their looks):
Harry "Spider" Graham's Mindblaster
This is a plain-looking drink by cocktail standards, with only two layers, black and white. The only remarkable thing about this drink is that the layers are vertical, a strip of night side by side with a strip of light. There is about one tablespoon.
Vern "Lost" Heisenwurm's Possibly Potion
This very, very sticky drink is layered in bright hues of orange, blue, turquoise and pink. That alone should be enough warning to anyone who wishes to retain functional braincells. There is about one tablespoon.
Winkle's Old Peculiar
There are a few things that will make a Morporkian miss their home when they're in forn parts, and this beer is one. While Winkle's Old Peculiar is known to have killed quite a few people and (rumour has it) two horses, it is still one of the finest products of Ankh-Morpork.
Yusuf "Camels" Al Hazam's Sphinx Extractor
A sand coloured liquid which moves with a viscosity one would do well to be wary of. Strange sounds - of battle, music and camels - emerge at irregular intervals. There is about one tablespoon.
Jym "Wheelbarrows" Maxwell's Exploding Miasma
An odd-looking drink, this one, a pale blue liquid with yellow bubbles swirling through it. There is about one tablespoon.
Schorn "Tulip" Jacobs' Gastric Grinding
This drink is black, with little purple bubbles erupting on the surface. No sane person would want to know its ingredients, especially after drinking it. There is about one tablespoon.
Old Aged Sherry
This is sherry, a high class drink for high class establishments. Nowhere else would they let wine go rotten. There is about one tablespoon.
Matured Scumble
You take on a look of vague intentness. A slurping sound emerges from the crystal glass, and the smell of alcohol wafts stronger for a second.
