Even in a futuristic setting, characters will often spend time in places where drinks are served, be it a seedy bar in a space port on the rim or a luxurious restaurant in a space station in the core worlds. Bars will be more common than other locations, as these are places where characters can meet contacts,  get jobs and find information, but there are other places as well.

As with all such places, these will also have drinks that can be bought or otherwise obtained. This is a list of 100 cocktails that could be found in a science fiction setting. Each is given a name and a few other details. Some are cheap, some are expensive and some are possibly disgusting.

To use the list, either roll d100 for a random result or select appropriate ones manually.

Here are some sample results:

27. S.O.S.: A drink that looks like a triple-striped distress symbol, the accessories one orders with an S.O.S. are a secret way of passing a message to the person behind the bar. A lemon twist means you’re on a bad date, and need some help to get out before things get really bad. An orange peel means the drinker is afraid, and they need to escape into a back room. A shot of grenadine is a code red, and the bartender needs to summon the authorities immediately because the drinker is in immediate danger.
28. Superconductor: A gateway drink for a lot of people, this cocktail is used as a kind of warm-up to a night’s revelry. It dumps extra hydration into the drinker’s system, while inhibiting kidney and liver function to some degree, making sure that future drinks hit harder, and that the effects last longer.
29. Airlock: For people who don’t want their night’s purchases getting away from them, Airlock helps coat the stomach in a soothing layer that helps prevent nausea, and slows down the process of alcohol getting from their stomach and into their bloodstream. Some people have used it as a way to win drinking contests, but that kind of strategy leads to alcohol poisoning far more often than it does to victory.
