- "It has a kick, but by the third sip, it goes down pretty easy."
- ―Qi'ra explains the taste of a flameout to Leia Organa
A flameout was a mixed alcoholic drink that consisted of Hull stripper and Vaschean rye. It could be served in a jet juice flask.[1] A flameout could also be spiked with spice.[2] According to the human Qi'ra, the leader of the criminal organization Crimson Dawn, the flameout was an old Corellian concoction.[3] The drink was among several mixed alcoholic beverages served on the planet Tatooine at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina.[1]
In 3 ABY,[4] when Qi'ra met with Leia Organa, a general of the Rebel Alliance, she brought with her a golden bottle of flameout to share. However, Organa, suspecting Qi'ra of ill-intentions, was not interested and user her blaster to shoot the bottle out of Qi'ra's hand before she could serve it.[3] In 4 ABY,[5] when the astromech droid R2-D2 was briefly forced to work as an ambulatory bar aboard Jabba the Hutt's sail barge Khetanna, flameouts were among the drinks that were served.[2]
