Glitz’s Carbonated Fruit Alcohol

Sabalom Glitz offers a ritual drink—a carbonated fruit alcohol in a squat glass bottle—during the formal renaming of his spacecraft, the Nosferatu Two. The effervescent liquid appears pale amber, topped with a collapsing collar of bubbles. Ace and Mel both decline, standing back as the ceremony progresses. Glitz grips the container carefully, balancing the deliberate act among otherwise ordinary refreshments. The drink’s simplicity contrasts sharply with its ceremonial use, a fleeting moment of gravitas before the scene shifts.
