== Ten Forward's Bartender: '''Arcturian Fizz''' ==
<small>by [[herbalsheila]]</small>

A popular drink, the '''Arcturian Fizz''' is well liked for its pleasure enhancing qualities. 

When Lwaxana Troi, her daughter Deanna, and Commander William Riker were held captive on a Ferengi starship, the Ambassador offered to make an Arcturian Fizz for the Ferengi DaiMon Tog. [[Image:ArcturianFizz.jpg|245px|right|thumb|An Acturian Fizz is a popular drink and not that difficult to make.]]Claiming she needed Tog's access code to program the replicator to make the drink, Tog was about to give it to Lwaxana Troi until his suspicious counterpart Dr. Farek interrupted the two of them.  

Here is a simple version that you can make yourself. We can, however, make no claims about how much pleasure is derived from it.

'''Ingredients:'''

:1/2 cup Lemon Juice 
:3-3/4 Tbsp Grenadine Syrup
:1 tsp Sugar 
:1 oz. Gin
:1/4 cup Club Soda


'''Directions:''' 

Dissolve sugar in lemon juice, syrup, and gin in a four to six ounce drinking glass of your choice.  Add club soda last. Pop in three or four cubes of ice for a colder drink. Garnish as desired with a sprig of mint or rosemary or a fresh slice of fruit. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute gin with lime juice.
