The European Space Agency (ESA) held a contest to come up with drink recipes in honor of their launch of a space probe called “Juice” that will explore Jupiter’s moons looking for signs of life. The wonderfully imaginative entries ranged from iced coffee with swirls like Jupiter’s surface to color-changing drinks to a drink topped with cotton candy.
The winning drink, called Europa Geology, came from grad student Margherita Gagnoni. The drink’s appearance resembles a cross section of the moon Europa, from its rocky core to its ice crust. It even contains a bit of life, in the form of blue Spirulina algae! However, you can substitute blue food coloring if you don’t have Spirulina.

All 70 non-alcoholic drinks can be seen in an online recipe book. They are rich in imagination, and juice, of course. I can’t say how they taste, but they are all pretty. Read about the contest, the “mocktails,” and the Juice space probe at Atlas Obscura.
