Marguerite: "There aren't too many ingredients, but I brew large batches, so we need a good bit of each. We'll need Punga Fruit, Yeast, and some Fission Batteries - for that extra little kick."
The Lone Wanderer: "Batteries? For extra "kick"?"
Marguerite: "You best keep this one to yourself, sweetie. The family tonic gets real kick from our secret ingredient. We just need a lil' bit of battery acid. Oh, don't look like that, now. You reckon I'd be around to tell you about it if it weren't safe enough? Bring me six fission batteries and I'll scrape 'em into the mix."
