- "Bacta may be good for healin' what's on the surface, but it prob'ly ain't somethin' you should drink to fix what ails you deep on the inside. Good thing the fine folks on Thyferra came up with a little somethin' for that, too— an icy, creamy, fruit-filled slush that's sure to have you feelin' better in no time flat. It won't do much when it comes to curin' blaster burns, mind you, but it's guaranteed to do wonders for your state of mind."
- ―Strono Tuggs, The Ultimate Cookbook
Bacta Slush was an icy and creamy beverage that consisted of a fruit-filled slush. Its ingredients also included a scoop of Fondor Ice ice cream and the Ithor Float dessert. It was made on the Inner Rim planet Thyferra, the origin point of the medicinal substance bacta, by its natives. While not medicinal, Bacta Slush instead improved the drinker's state of mind and helped them to feel better.[1] In 35 ABY,[2] the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included a recipe for Bacta Slush in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, following a culinary tour of the galaxy that he took[1] between 34 ABY and 35 ABY.[2]
Behind the scenes
Bacta Slush was created as a recipe for the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. The out-of-universe recipe for the beverage makes use of shaved ice, evaporated milk, diced mango, sweetened red beans, corn flakes, and shredded coconut. It also uses Fondor Ice and Ithor Float, two other recipes from the book, as ingredients.[1]

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook establishes that the publishing of the in-universe The Ultimate Cookbook and the culinary tour that preceded it occurred following the publishing of The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook and prior to the destruction of Kijimi. It also establishes that The Ultimate Cookbook was published following the Festival of the Ancestors that occurred during that time period. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook further establishes that The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook was published concurrently with the First Order's search for the Resistance base on Batuu, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. In addition, Timelines dates the Festival of the Ancestors and the destruction of Kijimi to 35 ABY, meaning the tour must have taken place between 34 ABY and 35 ABY and The Ultimate Cookbook must have been published in 35 ABY.
