This fruit cake was in the Bacardi Rum ads in the early 60's
I think was the time frame. Thanks for the help.

Years ago (1960's), my grandmother used to make us gingerbread
cake and serve it with a warm vinegar sauce. As far as I know,
the name of the recipe is "vinegar sauce". I know that it
obviously contains vinegar, but also sugar and is heated over
the stove. It appears to be similiar to a simple syrup. I have
tried recreating it accorcdingly, but without sucsess. Thank you
for your searching abilities. I have been looking for this for
many years. Even now as a proffesional baker, I am unable to locate
this. Thanks again. Danette
Hello Danette,

Dear Phaedrus,
If you can solve this one, your reputation as a miracle working
super-sleuth is secure. I have been unable to find the recipe
for a delightful concoction known as a "warp core breach". Now
this is not the easily found warp core breach recipe that contains
goldschlager, tequila, and Tennessee whiskey. Oh no. This is the
warp core breach served at Quark's Bar at the Star Trek Experience
in the Las Vegas Hilton. This masterpiece of the mixologists craft
contains, I have been told, at least six different types of rum.
It is red, and is served in a fish-bowl shaped container which holds
dry ice at the bottom so that when the drink is served, it arrives
at the table with fog pouring over the edge of the bowl. It is a
very enjoyable drink in oh so many ways. If anyone can find this
one, it's you. Good luck, and give one a try the next time you're
in Vegas. Thanks a million!
Anthony
Hello Anthony,
Well, I located two recipes, or rather one recipe and one list of
ingredients. The first one below is the recipe, posted on a message
board by a frequent patron of Quark's.
The second, is a list of ingredients, supposedly supplied by Quark
himself. The recipe is supposed to be secret, but you know how Quark
is... Enough credits can buy just about anything. However, he pulled
a fast one by not giving any ingredient amounts.
Try the first one and let me know how it turns out.
Now if I can only get the local beverage store to start carrying
Romulan ale...

How to Replicate a Warp Core Breach
Combine 1/2 pint Bacardi Select, 1/2 pint Bacardi Dark,
1/2 pint Bacardi 151, 1/2 pint Bacardi Limon, 1/2 pint Captain Morgan
(because they don't make Bacardi Spice any more) and 1/3 pint Razzamatazz
raspberry liqueur. Mix well.
Add 1 part mix to 3-4 parts Sobe Power, add ice and dry ice, and enjoy.
CAUTION: Drink with a straw ONLY, unless you like frozen lips.
ServingForOne = (WCB)/4
--------------------------------------------------
Warp Core Breach (For Two) (This recipe is supposedly direct from Quark's)
Sensors indicate a blend of
Light rum, Bacardi Select, Captain Morgan, Bacardi
Limon, Fris Vodka, Blue Curacao, Bacardi 151,
cranberry, pineapple, Ruby Red Grapefruit, guava,
orange juice, sour mix, and grenadine. We add
pure (dry) ice crystals from the planet Exo III. You'll need
more than one officer to handle this situation.
-----------------------------------------
Hi Phaedrus,
I was doing a web search to show some friends a picture of a warp core breach and
I saw your site used my recipe... that's pretty cool. Once a year , a few days before
the Defcon convention, we would get a group together and raid the place. The Star Trek
Experience at the LV Hilton closed, they will be reopening in a new facility downtown
in March of 2010.
However several of the guys who worked there started up a website and posted the actual
drink recipes.
Quark's Bar Recipes
The main page link seems to work better than the direct link; you will find it on the
right side of that page.

Just thought you might like to know,

I'm sorry I forgot something. You can buy the actual warp core breach fishbowl glasses
directly from the company that made them for the experience.
