| '''Ambrosia''' is a common intoxicating alcoholic beverage, typically green in color. At least two different variations are known to exist, one favored by [[Caprica (RDM)|Capricans]] and others favored by [[Scorpia]], dating back to at least [[100 BCH]] ([[1900BYR]]).

| 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}}.
