Special Drink Menu
Lord Grey's Libation: 2500 gil --While we still don't know who Lord Grey is, the tea blend that bears his name has been elevated into a simple but delicious cocktail. Bergamot-flavoured black tea has been infused into small-batch gin, which is shaken with lemonette juice, simple syrup, and an egg white to produce a smooth and bright drink suited for a nobleman's palate.
Alermuc: 3500 gil -- Complex and old-fashioned like the fortress this drink is named after, this drink is for those who like their flavours loud and their drinks dry. Sugar cubes infused with your choice of bitters are muddled with a touch of water before being added to Thanalan whiskey and all being poured over ice in a glass lined with mythloam aethersand, resulting in a drink with earthy and herbal notes. Zivjeli!
Clementine Spritz: 3500 gil --For those who love the bubbly and who like their drinks on the sweet side, this cocktail is made for you. Clementine liqueur made from Akanote estate fruits is mixed with La Noscean prosecco and topped up with a bit of sparkling water to produce a refreshing drink suited to the proprietress's tastes.
Made by our friends at Still & Strings.
Leafpeeper Lemonade: 2500 gil -- Homegrown Lemonade The fresh juice of lemons grown on the Advarithi estate, sweetened with wildflower honey syrup. Add in a splash of of Still and Strings' Meala Maple Small-Batch Bourbon ontop a bit of ginger ale. And you've got yourself a refreshing Lemonade with a hidden kick. (Serve over ice, top with lemon slice for garnish and a bit of mint!)
Mhaci Medicine: 3500 gil -- This cocktail at it's base starts with The Still & Strings's Roehwyta Highland Single-Malt La Noscean Scotch. A honey flavored, but earthy smoke like taste of scotch that is combined with freshly squeezed Advarithi lemons and Freshly procured Shroud honey and ginger syrup mixed into a shaker with ice. (Shaken until chilled, this delightfully golden mixture is poured over fresh ice with a piece of candied ginger atop.)
