Cocktails With Clive -- "Black Dragon Gin"

by Clive Zarabet

-Mix two parts Pusir Plum Gin and one part sweet Salimantica Vermouth. When mixed properly, they should take the blueish-dark hue of the black dragonborn we met in the library, inscrutable as a stone.
 
-Add a dash of Rainbow Palace bitters; this tastes like the frustration you feel at seeing this bloke lift a book off the shelf and deny it whole-heartedly, multiple times.
 
-Add ice and stir until chilled, chilled so cold that Zadrick tries to hit 'im and misses entirely, cold as the lead you thought was a tantalizin' one.
 
-Strain into a chilled glass, or holding cell in this case, further revealing nothing.
 
-Garnish with a strange spring you find that flips your assumptions about the killer being a mage on their 'eads.
 
Make sure that when you tip this cool cocktail back, all the way down, down to the morgue, you don't do it in the company of some mechanical monstrosity that'll kill you as you're contemplatin' it.
 
Like we may have done. Woah, Nellie, we sure are in for it now...
