Never used in a sentence.

(KGT 95):  many native Klingon alcoholic drinks have names that do not contain the word {HIq}. Among these are... {baqghol) ("bahgol"), consumed heated and out of rather small glasses 

(KGT 98):  Since certain drinks are typically associated with certain containers, saying the type of drink plus {HIvje'} indicates the type of cup or glass as well... {baqghol HIvje'} ("bahgol cup").

STC Library Computer ("Klingon Miscellany"):
  A Klingon beverage (pronounced 'BACK-goal'). Long-time Trill friend
  Curzon Dax and the Klingon Kang first shared this drink at the Korvat
  colony, prior to the Klingon-United Federation of Planets détente -
  presumably before the Khitomer Accords began in AD 2293. Much later,
  Deep Space Nine's Science Officer, Jadzia Dax, offered it to her
  three Klingon comrades (Kang, Koloth and Kor) before their 'blood
  oath' mission. It is served warm in small saki-like glasses by custom.
  One loose translation may be 'opponent's fire.' (Reference: {DS9]
  Blood Oath)
