'''Ambrosia''' is an intoxicating alcoholic beverage, typically green in color.

[[Ellen Tigh]] presents a bottle of ambrosia to her husband, Colonel [[Saul Tigh|Tigh]], after they have reunited ([[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]).

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]]).

The luxury liner ''[[Cloud Nine]]'' offered ambrosia as a barside drink ([[Colonial Day]]).

According to the labels on the bottle; Ambrosia was produced in the Bliffe Sector by the Stanford Distillery for at least 100 years.  There seems to be a set of 4 concentric rings with meaning unknown.  It also seems to have been made with prison labor.  The telephone area code for the Bliffe Sector seems to be (04).

-Per the label set on the mainstay Ambrosia 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>.
-Scorpion Marsh Genuine Ambrosia is a particularly expensive brand circa [[58 BCH]].  The majority of [[Caprica_(RDM)|Capricans]] dislike this brand 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}}.
