Mudder's Milk was an alcoholic beverage found in the city of Canton on Higgins' Moon.
Background[]
A specialty from Canton on the outer planet called Higgins' Moon—where mud was a major export. Mudding’s hard work and this potable was sure to satisfy—"all the protein, vitamins and carbs of your grandma's best turkey dinner, plus 15 percent alcohol." The ancient Egyptians, back on Earth-That-Was, used a similar form of beer that they fed the slaves to build their pyramids. This early form of beer was liquid bread, and kept the slaves from starving and knocked them out at night so they wouldn't be inclined to insurrection. Jayne was a fan of the concoction but it was definitely not to Wash's liking. In Canton, it was appropriate to raise a toast to the Mudders before downing a glass.
