Drinks Popular in the Frigid Taverns of Hyste Talma

False Morchella

This purple drink is usually served with ice in large glasses, with a sugar-coated rim. The drink is extremely sour at first, but the aftertaste is sweet and delicious. If you drink more than two, though, your lips will prune for the rest of the night!

Chicken Drink

In the absence of meat, the dwarves came up with a wonderful, if slightly surprising, alternative. This drink is distilled from Sulphur Shelf and tastes like roasted chicken—in liquid form! Chicken Drink is truly a unique experience. It’s often served with a sweet side dish, to balance the flavours.

Drunk Puffballs

Another ingenious invention is Drunk Puffballs. These enormous mushrooms are grown filled to the brim with an alcohol of choice, usually strong vodka with dried fruits. After they’re about the size of a dwarf’s head, they’re harvested and ready to be drunk and eaten!

Reaper’s Call

Black as tar and close to molasses in consistency, this amazing drink can get you drunk just by its fumes! It comes in a small bowl, and is then lit on fire. First, one must breathe in and then drink it all in one gulp! It’s better not to hold it in your mouth, for the taste is truly horrible. Only the most hardened individuals do not immediately begin to shiver nor try to throw up. It does, however, get you drunk instantly.

Crazy Mage

This is the best party drink you could find in the whole city! Crazy Mage is a mix of vodka and juice—of your choice—with an added surprise of exploding crystals. These small “stones” are in truth distilled flavors of different alcohols, first frozen and then coated with caramel. As you put them in your mouth and bite, the melted liquor bursts with flavor! Of course, there’s no knowing if you’ve gotten mead, honey mead, or Reaper’s Call!

Blood Rubies

This drink consists of or strawberry vodka frozen into circular ice placed put into your favorite juice. It’s the softest drink you might encounter in Hyste Talma, but I like it for its simplicity. If you’re looking for safe options, without unexpected flavors, Blood Rubies are for you.
