Josi, my MC, was a barmaid. She is now showing two men she's travelling with how to mix drinks. Unfortunately, I don't know the first thing about alcohol (preserving the youth of tomorrow! =D) or mixing drinks, ESPECIALLY in a fantasy setting. What on earth is this woman making?! XD Anything-- normal to obscure and beyond-- is much appreciated and welcome.

Well, I don't drink either, so I don't know how much help I'll be with recipes and the like, but I could give you some names!
There are our traditional drinks, Pina Coladas, White Russians, Mudslides, Daiquiries, etc.
For some fantasy themed drinks, you could have things like:
Dragonsbreath: made with some sort of red fruit punch and some sort of alcohol. You could set it on fire as it was served.
Witch's Brew: made with all sorts of nasty things, or a mix of the leftover drinks from the night before. Could be a discount drink.
Unicorn: could be our version of a 'virgin' (non-alcoholic) drink.
Any of these help?

Ambrosias, and Nectars of course, for the fantasy element.
But I can recommend a rad site for you to peruse: www.drinknation.com
All the names, mixes, and recipies you can dream of.

OOOO, pick me! And Arya!
I don't know the first thing about drinks either (and on a happy note to you overconcerned parents, you can count me out of the typical teenage stereotype; I'm 15 on Tuesday and have never had a sip of alcohol in my life), but my MC is an adrenaline junkie and druggie.
In my world they have a drug (which has no official name; please help) made of steamlift, which is the stuff the engineers put in the zeppelin airlifts of airships to help them take flight. It's similar to helium, and isn't that powerful- but my MC mixes it with mercury. Steamlift and mercury combined make her just crazy enough to jump ten hands (1.3 feet) off airships in flight.

Funny thing is, when you said adrenaline, and then said you have no name for it, I immediately thought "Lift" or "Lifter." Then read on to see steamlift.
