'''Ambrosia''' is an intoxicating alcoholic beverage, typically green in color.<br />
<br />
[[Ellen Tigh]] presents a bottle of ambrosia to her husband, Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]], after they have reunited ([[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]).<br />
<br />
During a documentary on the military of the [[The Fleet (RDM)|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" ([[Final Cut]]).<br />
<br />
The luxury liner ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' offered ambrosia as a barside drink ([[Colonial Day]]).<br />
<br />
According to the labels on the bottle; Ambrosia was produced in the Bliffe Sector by the Stanford Distillery for at least 100 years. It also appears to have been made with prison labor <ref>Given the humorous tone of the entire label this might just be an in-joke by the production team that isn't supposed to be taken literally. The joke itself may be a nod to "[[The Long Patrol]]", an [[Original Series]] episode, where [[ambrosa]] was made by prisoners on the penal colony of [[Proteus]].</ref>. The telephone area code for the Bliffe Sector is (04).<br />
<br />
Scorpion Marsh Genuine Ambrosia is a particularly expensive brand 58 years before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]]. The majority of [[Caprica_(RDM)|Capricans]] dislike Scorpion due to its potency and the belief that it smells like sulfur ([[CAP]]: "[[Know Thy Enemy]]"). Sister [[Clarice Willow]] presents a bottle to [[Amanda Graystone]] as a gift ([[CAP]]: "[[The Imperfections of Memory]]").<br />
