Prune juice

Prune juice is a sweet Terran beverage made from the juice of the prune.

It is a common misconception that prune juice is made from dried plums. Although the word "prune" refers colloquially to dried plums, you cannot get juice from a dried plum and the prune is actually a different fruit.

Although generally unpopular among Humans, prune juice was noted by Worf as being "a warrior's drink", when he was introduced to it by Guinan aboard the USS Enterprise-D in 2366. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise")

Sergey and Helena Rozhenko were surprised when Guinan told them Worf enjoyed the drink, as he had never shown an interest in human foods and beverages with them. (TNG: "Family")

Worf often ordered chilled prune juice at Quark's Bar on Deep Space 9, as well as aboard the mess hall aboard the USS Defiant. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior", "The Quickening" et al.)

Worf often ordered it extra large. ("To the Death", Let He Who Is Without Sin...")

Quark recounted an occasion that Worf drank prune juice to Ch'Pok at Worf's hearing in 2372. (DS9: "Rules of Engagement")

Jadzia Dax once told Worf that "for a Klingon who was raised by humans, wears a Starfleet uniform, and drinks prune juice, you're pretty attached to 'tradition'."

While pining for Grilka, Worf took solace in the drink. DS9: "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places")

Doctor Bashir prescribed to Odo, who was at the time living in humanoid form, that he drink a little prune juice to help him relax. A suggestion Odo later admitted helped. (DS9: "The Begotten")
