From THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993) [devils]:

  NECTAR, n.  A drink served at banquets of the Olympian deities.  The
  secret of its preparation is lost, but the modern Kentuckians believe
  that they come pretty near to a knowledge of its chief ingredient.
  
      Juno drank a cup of nectar,
      But the draught did not affect her.
      Juno drank a cup of rye --
      Then she bad herself good-bye.
