snousleSpinach juice and white rum, with a little sugar to balance the flavors. I call it the "Popeye":
It was necessary to filter the spinach juice, since right out of the juicer it was kind of grainy. It really does look like that, the color is like something from Star Trek.

It is... it is... It is GREEN. Twice!! ;D

Captain Picard later identifies this liquor as Aldebaran whiskey (Picard is the one who gave it to Guinan).
Data's line, "...It is green", is a nod to Scotty's similar own line in The Original Series' Season 2 episode "By Any Other Name" (1968).
Scotty does start to slur out that he found the green stuff on... "Gannyroom... Gannymirrior... mead..." before deciding that it is simply... green. Maybe Starfleet has a station on Jupiter's moon of Ganymead or has a deep space station elsewhere called Ganymead.
In Greek mythology, Ganymead was the "handsome lad" that Zeus abducted and made immortal to be his (conCUBine) cub bearer (replacing Hebe, who had married Heracles (Hercules to the Romans)). As cub bearer, it was Ganymead's job to deliver the immortality-giving nectar and ambrosia to the Olympian gods. It is thought that his name inspired the name of the ancient honey wine called Mead.
