Video Game Cooking: Nectar (Hades 2018)

Nectar is one of the in-game items Zagreus can collect. By gifting these bottles of golden liquid to other characters, he raises his affinity with them, which in turn gives him powerup items and advances character questlines. 

Hades (2018) is a retelling/adaptation of the classical Persephone and Hades mythos. All items, settings, and characters are from classic Greek mythology; Zagreus’ foster mother is the primordial goddess of night. Achilles’ personal questline is about reuniting him with his lover Patrocles. Zagreus has spent his entire life sheltered underground in Tartarus, so he doesn’t know what birds are, or what winter is. 

In turn, ‘nectar’ exists in Greek mythology. It’s sometimes interchangeable with ambrosia; both are the legendary foods/drinks of the gods, said to grant immortality to anyone who consumes them, amongst other positive effects. In-game, nectar is the more commonplace counterpart to ambrosia; Zagreus finds nectar as a dungeon drop. But he needs to defeat the champion of Elysium boss to gain a single bottle of ambrosia.

Today, we’re gonna re-create the nectar of Hades (2018) for ourselves! It may be contraband in Hades’ domain, but it’s not like anyone pays attention to that rule, anyways.

Why are we recreating nectar, and not ambrosia? Because there already exists tons of ‘ambrosia’ drink recipes. Maybe not based off of the Hades (2018) version, but there’s nothing new or exciting in making yet another ambrosia drink. Nectar, on the other hand, gives us more room for invention.

Hades (2018) Nectar Recipe  (Makes One Serving)

1 1/3 cups Martinelli's sparkling cider

2 tablespoons orange flower water

1 tablespoon honey

1/4 teaspoon edible gold shimmer powder (make sure it lists all ingredients, and is certified food safe)

A pinch of coarse sea salt

A pinch of lemon zest

A drop of mint extract

The first times Zagreus gifts nectar to npcs, they describe honoring some sort of godhood custom and exchange with him with a ‘keepsake’ - an in-game powerup he can wear. Unlike with gifting ambrosia, their eyes don’t pop out with shock at receiving such a luxurious gift, it’s instead just something nice, even if relatively commonplace. But nectar is still prestigious enough that gifting the actual Olympic gods nectar goes over well.

If ambrosia is the equivalent of Zagreus gifting $30,000,000 Breguet watches to his friends and family, then nectar is the gourmet-wrapped basket of cheese and crackers you see in the ‘gift’ section of the grocery store. Something you spot while on errands, and impulsively buy so you have a hostess gift the next time someone invites you over. It’s a gift borne of societal custom, and implores the giftee to give you something in return, eventually. Everyone from your multimillionaire uncle Poseidon to your humble jailbird neighbor Sisyphus are pleased to receive such a gift, even if they might value its contents differently.

(In the early-access versions of the game, nectar was ambrosia. The final release wrote ambrosia as the coveted, rare prize you earn after defeating the champions of Elysium. True enough, Zagreus can only find ambrosia after defeating the Elysium boss.)

In original Greek mythology, ‘nectar’ and ‘ambrosia’ aren’t two distinct things. Homer describes nectar as the god’s drink, and ambrosia is the food. But in Sappho’s and Anaxandrides’s poems, it’s the opposite. There’s more recorded mentions of ‘ambrosia’, rather than nectar. Some take this to mean that both nectar and ambrosia can be seen as something both food and drink, like honey.

Both share canonical similarities. Ambrosia and nectar are fragrant foods/drinks, sometimes used as literal perfume by the gods. Makes sense that nectar smells good, if in the AD period we’ve taken the word to mean the sweet stuff within flowers.

Other than its smell, we’ve no canonical information about nectar (other than in the Odyssey, nectar is described as either ‘rose-red’ in color, or in scent). Hades (2018) rendered nectar’s appearance as an opaque, warm gold liquid in a cute little round bottle, wrapped with a ribbon to benefit its ‘gift merchandise’ reputation.        

Nobody in Hades (2018) describes the taste/smell of nectar. Ambrosia, on the other hand, is said to be rare ‘vintages’ that you’re guaranteed to like. Sometimes, gifting either results in a cutscene where Zagreus and co. hang out at the lounge, complete with a sound clip of uncorking a bottle and pouring it into a tall glass. You can also see characters drink nectar amongst each other, savoring both the occasion and the taste. Eurydice also offers a ‘Refreshing Nectar’ power up item, which just kinda looks like normal nectar but in a tall glass. 

There’s a clear alcohol equivalence. But nobody references drunkeness in-game. Even original classical Greek culture didn’t have a drunk culture like we do; wine was revered, but it was mixed with water to be savored, not to intoxicate oneself. Maybe nobody in-game can get drunk in the first place; everyone’s either an immortal, or a ghost.

(In my opinion, it’s always a bit weird when videogame characters can nurture deep, trusting relationships purely built upon a system of gifting items. But Hades (2018) does make it clear that Zagreus already has established relationships with most of the cast.)

Ambrosia’s a rare vintage. So what does that make nectar? We need to make something sweet, pleasant, attractive-looking, and also tangibly related to its rarer sibling. So we’re using another liquid that’s distilled and sometimes fermented; apple cider. 

A bit of this decision comes from the soundbite of opening up a nectar in the lounge; it’s a thin viscosity with a slight hint of foam, almost sounding like beer. And the color matters too, since different distillations of apple cider can result in different colors, ranging from dark brown to a light, bright gold.

Apple juice, when fermented, can have alcohol contents going from light apple wine, to brandies that have 10-25% alcohol. As a culinary ingredient, its modest fructose content means a higher temperature tolerance, and its citric acid can be used as a brine. It’s a popular ‘new world’ ingredient in cooking and baking. 

It’s also an ‘old world’ food. Hades (2018) doesn’t take itself super seriously, with its foil-wrapped gyros and french fries as in-game healing items. But any character/worldbuilding they do have, they keep it consistent. 

Zagreus says that Hermes’ symbol “almost looks like a bat wing”, when it’s very clearly a bird wing. Because he’s lived underground his whole life, he doesn’t know what a bird is. Weapons upgraded with the aspect of people like Guan Yu, or King Arthur, are time-bending powers that no one has ever heard of, with hints that these mysterious people live in places with their own gods/mythology. Zagreus catches a trout/bass/sturgeon fish for the first time, and it’s completely foreign to him, but Achilles fondly recalls these Greece-native fish fitting of his Nereid heritage. Characters have discussions about how mortals fear death, despite Thanatos being a gentle god represented by butterflies. There’s no sun, therefore no time, in the underworld. Hades is the god of minerals as well as the underworld, hence gems and diamonds being an in-game loot. 

Apples originated in Central Asia. During the Classical Greek era, they would have resembled what we call crabapples; small, hard, sour, cherry-sized. “At the Sammardenchia-Cueis site near Udine in Northeastern Italy, seeds from some form of apples have been found in material carbon dated to around 4000 BCE.”

It implores me to find ingredients that fit the setting, as with my other Video Game Cooking recipes. No pumpkins, no corn, potatoes, chocolate, tomatoes, vanilla. Instead, we have things like almonds, lentils, oranges, honey, garlic, onions (haha, suck it Achilles)

To reflect nectar’s ‘sweet smelling’ trait, we’re using an ingredient common in Persian cooking - and later the French royal court of King Louis; orange flower water. I found mine in my local Asian grocery. It’s a byproduct of making essential oil, and it’s colorless/flavorless, but with a strong aromatic smell that affects any food you mix it with. It’s also a known ingredient in modern day Greece, called anthonero (ανθόνερο). 

(Eeurydice is confirmed to use both nectar and ambrosia as a cooking ingredient, and her food is apparently amazing. Maybe one day, I’ll make another Video Game Cooking recipe based off of her Pom Porridge, or Ambrosia Delights.) 

And to really make it look like the food of the gods, we’re adding an ingredient found more and more in swanky bars worldwide; edible glitter powder. Originally, people only used this to decorate baked goods and candies, but come Instagram, people are making these really picturesque cocktails that shimmer rainbow. You gotta be careful when buying these for yourself, though; the tiny tins of decorative edible shimmer power you find at Michaels may not actually be as edible as they claim. I found Bakell-brand Luster Dust at a bake-supply shop. If it doesn’t list its ingredients, or certify itself as FDA-approved, then don’t use it for food.

And since it’s called ‘nectar’, we’re also adding honey. Which has long history of its divine status as a holy food. To take down the intense sweetness a bit, the tinest pinch of sea salt - another holy, pure substance. And to really bring out the brightness of the apples, we’re adding a sprinkle of lemon zest. A tiny drop of mint extract brings a complex depth to the orange flower smell.

To make a glass of nectar; cover the bottom of the glass with mint, lemon, sea salt, honey, and orange flower water. Then, pour the apple cider with the gold shimmer dust together, so that the two mix together a bit, to avoid clumping of the powder. Then you mix the drink a bit, so that the honey, zest, and salt aren’t sitting at the bottom.

It only now occurs to me that this recipe might actually be a rendition of Eurydice’s Refreshing Nectar item, rather than pure nectar itself. But just take my word for it; when you open up a bottle of nectar, you get that whiff of blossoms with the slight coldness of mint, and the sea salt/honey taste goes really well with the apple juice. I imagine that Eurydice’s somehow making a further delicious drink by adding a splash of Bailoni and ice. 

Enjoy! Just imagine that you’re hanging out with Zagreus and his three partners, cracking a cold one open over stories about how crazy the surface world is. Did you know that we have machines called computers that instantly relay information all over the world??

H. Moser & Cie Venturer Concept Arctic Blue Watch Masters A Color & Helps Revalidate ‘Minimalism’

The word “minimalist” in the context of discussing watches has sadly reached the point of near irrelevance — relegated to a catchall term referring to the congeries of soulless copycats and lazily empty blank canvasses that unfortunately get coupled together with actual minimalist-design timepieces into one giant, uninspired mass of mediocrity. In reality, when many of us dismiss something as “too minimalist, not for me” (especially when it comes with a hefty price tag), we actually mean it’s too bland, austere, plain, derivative, uninspired, or just plain boring. But still, “minimalist” hasn’t been totally reduced to just a threadbare platitude yet — it does get justice every now and then.

H. Moser & Cie, specifically its “Concept” line, does minimalism right. Need I remind you of the Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept in Vantablack? However, for something with color in mind, I recently spent some time with the Moser Venturer Concept Small Seconds XL in the “Arctic Blue” dial, and it has one of the most beautiful executions of blue I’ve ever seen on a watch dial. The minimal unmarked dial, while devoid of indices, text, or brand logo, is joyously expressive through the radiating “Arctic blue” fumé dial. At first, it was challenging to put my finger on why Arctic Blue speaks to me, but there is something special about glancing at it from the side of my eye and feeling like there’s a cutout of the sky on my wrist, albeit an illusory sky from a world more luminescent than ours.

I tried to capture how the dial looks in the metal in these photos, and I believe I largely succeeded. I gazed at the Arctic Blue dial several times over the course of a couple of weeks and I felt something very specific each time I looked at it. The color triggers an immediately nostalgic and warm feeling, like a blue I’d see right before needing to rub my eyes after staring at the sky too long on a sunny day as a child. It’s immediately warm and cool, at once.

Funny, Arctic Blue is the outcome of a serendipitous error by Moser while producing its darker “Funky Blue” dial (as seen on the Swiss Alp I covered last year). I asked Moser CEO Edouard Meylan about it and he said:

The Arctic Blue was, indeed, the result of an error when trying to produce a batch of funky blue dials. Many parameters are important to create those dials and small differences in timing, temperature, and color mix can have a big impact on the final result. The team told us that the dials were not good and wanted to throw them away, I asked to see them. When I saw it I thought we could try something with it.  We launched a special edition that became a huge success…”

There are few truly, and literally, unique blue dials out there. A watch in my personal collection, the Rolex Milgauss 116400GV “Z-Blue” comes to mind (a watch some unfortunate soul once called “the worst watch ever”…but that’s a different article for another day), with its blue dial and green sapphire crystal that play against each other resulting in a dynamic blend. I’ll now add Moser’s Arctic Blue to the shortlist. It’s an empyrean delight to behold, a warmly humming light blue that is so vibrant in person that it almost appears backlit.

Have you ever tasted an apple from an orchard that is so perfect that you begin to see the everyday grocery store variety as a cheap imitation? They both are equally considered to be “real” apples, but only one captures the essence of the fruit while the rest are compromises. This is how the Moser Arctic Blue made me feel about other blue dials (specifically, the lighter blue). On paper, it’s something quite basic but in reality, it is a close-to-perfect realization of something simple — in this case, a color.

As for the selective trimming of dial elements, no doubt some of you will ask, “Why did they keep the seconds subdial?” A fair question, but one that fell by the wayside for me. With its hand gliding along the guilloché subdial like some dreamt Zen garden, it’s just what this Venturer Concept needs to avoid verging into barrenness.

I believe this is the largest case size that H. Moser & Cie makes, at 43mm-wide with a thickness of 12.6mm. Ordinarily, I would say that this Venturer Concept could have been accomplished in a smaller case size, but in this case the size of the canvass matters. I just spent the lion’s share of this article waxing poetic about how brilliant Arctic Blue is, and I am certain that ample real estate is necessary for its visual impact. The choice of rose gold works well against the dial, adding a soft warmth that balances the blue in a way steel or white gold simply could not. In fact, I believe there was a steel Arctic Blue Venturer Concept made for the Middle East market (keep in mind it’s taboo for men to wear yellow or rose gold in the Muslim world), and it does lose of that punch.

On the wrist, I found the 43mm case of the Venturer Concept XL to certainly wear as large as its dimensions read. With its curved crystal and substantial, though fortunately curved, lugs, it is not something I would classify as being in the unisex category. Still, it’s a comfortable wear on a 7.5-inch wrist. One more thing: The crown is nice and large with great ease of use when setting the time.

The leaf (feuille) hands have a satisfying length and, while this is not the most legible anti-glare watch in the world, I do think that some people have overblown the issues with glare on some of Moser’s Concept watches. Watch media too often conflates “hard to photograph” with “illegible,” and that isn’t entirely true — the Venturer Concept Arctic Blue is a good example.

From the exhibition caseback you can see the manual-wind HMC 327, an H. Moser & Cie classic. With its idiosyncratic fissure running down the middle, this is a hand-finished movement that stands up there with the best of the best in Swiss watchmaking. It operates at 18,800 vph with a three-day power reserve that is measured by an indicator on the case back. The HMC 327 is finished pretty exquisitely with hand-done Geneva stripes, but it also demonstrates technical chops with its in-house-made Straumann Hairspring with Breguet hairspring which helps maintain accuracy over time.

The H. Moser & Cie Venturer Concept Small Seconds XL in Arctic Blue is a minimalist triumph and, ultimately, a fascinating study in color and how humans perceive it. It’s is also, not surprisingly, a limited-production piece, with a run of 100 watches. It has a price of $25,500. You can learn more at h-moser.com.
