During a documentary on the military of the Fleet conducted by D'anna Biers, an inebriated, cigarette-smoking Felix Gaeta reveals a tattoo and comments: "Ambrosia's good with a chaser. And if you have enough ambrosia-- didn't really hurt that much" (Final Cut).

The luxury liner Cloud Nine offered ambrosia as a barside drink (Colonial Day).

According to the labels on the 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 ^[1]. The telephone area code for the Bliffe Sector is (04).
