nectar of the gods
Olympian immortality elixir
Nectar of the gods refers to something supremely delicious to drink—or by extension, to eat or experience.
The phrase alludes to Greek mythology, where nectar was the drink of the immortals on Mount Olympus.
In casual use, it's playful hyperbole for anything exceptionally enjoyable: After hiking all day, that cold beer was nectar of the gods.
