Kali-fal

A bottle of kali-fal

Kali-fal was a very aromatic Romulan beverage that was said to forcibly open one's sinuses well before the first sip. It was blue in color.

In 2374, Captain Benjamin Sisko offered Senator Vreenak a glass of replicated kali-fal, which the senator found to be a "fair approximation" but "somewhat lacking in aroma." (DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight")
