For those who just want to unlock this quest for cooking, here are the quests you need to do first:

Venture Co Misadventure and the follow-up Wipe That Grin Off His Face.
Need an Engine, Take an Engine and the follow-up Have a Part, Give a Part.
Dreadsaber Mastery: Becoming a Predator
Rhino Mastery: The Test. You don't need to do the follow-up to this.

After you've finished this quest, Still At It and The Taste Test you need to find Washed-up Mage in Dalaran to learn the recipe.

Description

Life's tossed me a cartload of lemons this time! When the ship ran aground, the kegs carrying my best brew burst! All we have now are a few bottles of rum, and it won't sustain a thirsty expedition! We need to get some booze cooking, and fast!! The trees in the Wildgrowth Mangal, to the east, seem laden with fruit, but it's too high for me to reach. Look for good, strong vines, see if you can use it to shake some of that fruit out of the trees. Bring me whatever you can find.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Crocolisk Mastery: The TrialSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    I warn you, stranger -- do not make any comments about crashing the ship. I already get enough of it from the rest of the expedition. If you're looking to try your hand at hunting, though, you should test your skills against the wily mangal crocolisks.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Still At ItSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    Now that we've got the raw materials, I've had my assistant ready the still. He'll oversee the process, but I want you to help keep everything under control. You might be tempted to think that we just throw everything into the still and let it sit, but you're wrong.
