A drink so potent the whole room hushes when someone orders it. The bartender pales and asks, "Are you sure?", and then, after putting on a welding mask and asbestos gloves, takes the bottle out of a locked safe and pours it with tongs. When the stirring spoon is removed, [[Ate the Spoon|it's been melted away]], and the ice cubes jump out with a yelp when dropped into it. And that's just the beginning of the fun.

* "You let her drink a [[Black Jewels|Gravedigger]]?" (The [[Capital Letters Are Magic|Blood]] in Anne Bishop's [[Black Jewels]] universe have very high metabolisms, especially when their power is deep. This makes it difficult for some characters to get drunk without making use of a Gargle Blaster concoction. Or two. Or seven. On the other hand, if a more mid-powered Blood gets any in them, [[Hilarity Ensues]].)

* The fourth book of [[Stephen King]]'s [[Dark Tower]] series, ''Wizard and Glass'' mentions one of these. In the bar in Mejis where young Roland and his compatriots are staying, the bartender dumps the unfinished drinks of all her customers into a keg labeled "Camel Piss", and charges a small sum to anyone who is stupid, brave or desperate for alcohol enough to want to drink it.
