DRINKING FOR FUN

Fine wines, beers and other such drinks best savored in good company - even if that company is only one's own.

EBONWOOD WINE

A bumbling concoction of the local grapes. It swirls a yellowing, transparent color and tastes as refreshing as a summer's day.

EBONWOOD MEAD
A sweet, strong mead. It has notes of wild berries and floral rose over thick honey, albeit a slightly yeasty aftertaste, as if brewed by an amateur. 

EBONWOOD CIDER
Brewed in Lord Hieran's estate room from the apples grown outside his window, kept fresh and crisp by the diligent Royal Butler Chadwick Hemmington. It swirls a classic clear gold and makes the perfect sunset drink.

'LAST HOP,' assorted wines.

 

DRINKING TO FORGET

Strong, hearty brews perfect for capping off a long day - or banishing a longer night.
 

EBONWOOD WHISKEY
An expertly made drink, brewed in the Pinecone Inn by Lord Hieran. It is a deep, swirling orange, like a sunset by lantern's light. It has a rich taste, with only a faint bitterness as you take your well-earnt sip. Might remind you of a day on the farm, no matter where you're from.

FIREDANCER'S WHISKEY
A malted whiskey, aged to a deep, dark, near-ebony amber. With floral notes of roses; a wash of cinnamon; and a smooth, smoky finish, this drink is best served cold and to ease a long night. If lifted to light, its true color gleams a fiery fox-red.

LOST-TO-FOG
A hasty mash of wheat grown on the cusp of the Melphestaus family manor. It has a sweet honeysuckle-and-rose start and notes of vanilla - but a sharp finish, which burns the throat, and infamously blurs the memory.
Also known as Nimreth's Moonshine, after the late Nimreth Daemyar de Melphestaus.

SQUASHKA

A playfully named vodka, brewed from pumpkin and potatoes grown in Ephesius’s communal farms. It has peaty and spiced notes, though is so unfettered in strength one might be lucky to taste, see, or even think after a shot thereof.

 

DOBROV VODKA, EPHESIUS GIN, assorted others.

 

HOUSE SPECIALS

MELPHESTAUS BERRY TEA

Served in bottles tied with soft gold ribbon and purple seals, pressed with the Melphestaus family crest and a crown atop. The tea was made entirely out of lemonade, raspberries and blackberries, giving its iconic fruity sweetness and bitterness! It would be best served cold, over ice. Dedicated on Minuvas Melphestaus' coronation.
 

Ebonwood wines, ciders and whiskeys brewed by Lord Hieran Livarai de Melphestaus; mead, Firedancer's Whiskey, Lost-to-Fog and Squashka by Gwaithor Wynanya Daemyar de Melphestaus, and celebratory teas by Ephesius Gwaithor Bell de Vulnundrose.
