Weird issue making drinks

[Mantis]

I've survived the first half of a night fine, but now Sei has come along and I need to make her something small, sweet and icy. Unfortunately, no matter what I choose I get bizarre text in the box underneath the drink. For instance, most recently it said "#u??!!" when I tried making a non-alcoholic small sugar rush on the rocks. But it doesn't matter which drink it is, I get these weird garbled messages and cannot proceed. What a letdown this game has been.

Try giving her a Moonblast and see if it works. According to the guide, this is the right drink to serve here.

That worked, thanks.

The drink composition has to match the description precisely. For example, if the CALICOMP system's drink description does not have "on the rocks", then there has to be NO ice or else the drink won't be made. One exception is optional karmotrine - it's optional; up to your discretion. So, if you need an iced drink, look for "on the rocks" drinks only.
