- "Bartender. Drink-keeper. Peddler of strange liqueurs! Another, please."
- ―Sinjir Rath Velus, asking Pok for another sashin-leaf mead
Sashin-leaf mead was a sweet-tasting type of mead that was consumable by humans. The beverage was gold-colored,[1] and could be made from biological sugars.[2] Sashin-leaf mead's alcoholic qualities could cause intoxication after consuming several glasses.[1] The drink partially shared its name with Sashin, a village on the Outer Rim planet Akiva.[3]
In 4 ABY,[4] the former Imperial loyalty officer Sinjir Rath Velus consumed several glasses of sashin-leaf mead while visiting the cantina Pok's Place in Akiva's capital city of Myrra. He enjoyed the beverage, and felt it tasted like a mixture of jybbuk-fruit and oi-oi berries. Velus, intoxicated from consuming the mead, clamored for the establishment's bartender Pok to bring him another glass of it.[1]
Behind the scenes
Sashin-leaf mead first appeared in Aftermath, a 2015 novel written by Chuck Wendig as the first installment in Star Wars: The Aftermath Trilogy.[1]
