Burgess' A Clockwork Orange had a drink named Moloko Plus that the protagonist often indulged himself in with his friends. The drink was basically milk spiked with stimulant drugs. I believe it inspired many real world drinks and cocktails not containing illicit substances.
And the name "moloko" is transliteration of молоко — milk in Russian (and maybe other Slavic languages), A Clockwork Orange's NADSAT slang almost entirely consists of transliterated Russian words, even the word NADSAT itself means "teen" in Russian 😆
