Chef’s Note: I’m curious as to what this Aldebaran Rum is all about? Its potency seems rather extreme! M’Gann sort of warns them ahead of time, but it almost immediately smacks Kara upside the head. Admittedly, she was on her fourth drink, but she seemed pretty together before tossing that intergalactic rum down, especially as compared to Mon-El*, who already seemed three sheets to the wind.
Also, how is it rum exactly? Are there sugar plantations on Aldebaran, or does it just taste similar to rum? How is it different than Aldebaran Whiskey? These are the important questions that are demanded of my scholarly profession.
“The chief fuddling they make in the island is Rumbullion, alias Kill-Divil, and this is made of sugar canes distilled, a hot, hellish, and terrible liquor.”
