A flameout was a mixed alcoholic drink that consisted of Hull stripper and Vaschean rye. It could be served in a jet juice flask. A flameout could also be spiked with spice. According to the human Qi'ra, the leader of the criminal organization Crimson Dawn, the flameout was an old Corellian concoction. The drink was among several mixed alcoholic beverages served on the planet Tatooine at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina.
In 3 ABY, 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. In 4 ABY, when the astromech droid R2-D2 was briefly forced to work as an ambulatory bar aboard Jabba the Hutt's sail barge Khetanna, he notably served flameouts.
