Editing Drinks

Feel free to browse our beverage menu at your leisure. We would send over a sommelier, but alas, we had to let ours go after the Strangling Willow Absinthe they recommended results in one strangling too many. We still argue amongst ourselves if that recommendation had any merit or not. You can read our food menu here: [[Food in the Neath]].

|-
| The Neath has many, many, varieties of alcoholic drinks. The most popular are the '''Greyfields''' mushroom wines; [[The Masters of the Bazaar|Mr Wines]] also made a few drinks of its own, though we aren't liable for your actions under their influence.
'''Airag''' is a valuable Fourth City beverage, made of fermented mares' milk, and tomb-colonists drink something called '''dustwine''' that's said to taste like roses and make one's mind flip itself over.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Cup_of_Dustwine|Cup of Dustwine|Fallen London|}}''"Addles the brain. Tastes like roses"''</ref> That being said, it's more like a ''dust'' than a liquid.

===[[File:Bottlemorelways.png|40px]] Morelways 1872===
|-
| Made from the finest morel mushrooms, this vintage is famous for its dark golden color<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Bottle_of_Morelways_1872|Bottle of Morelways 1872|Fallen London|}}''"I am drinking the fallen stars!"''</ref> and delicate taste. They really knew how to do wine right back in '72. Just take a look: can you see those small particles floating in the bottle? Now tell me those don't look exactly like [[Moon-misers|false-star]] constellations in the sky.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/An_Exceptional_Story:_My_Kingdom_for_a_Pig|From Exceptional Story: My Kingdom for a Pig|Fallen London|}}''Sediment rolls at the bottom of the bottles, glittering and purple. When you hold them to the light, you envision constellations in the alcohol. There's the Knotted Man. There's the Fork with Twenty Tines. The Dragon's Tongue becomes the Lanced Pustule after a shake.''</ref> Rumor has it that [[the Masters]] themselves regularly drink this stuff<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Poison_Mr_Cups|Not a mote of dust|Fallen London|}}''Within, a dark liquid. Morelways? This is it.''</ref> - if that doesn't say enough about its quality, what will?

===[[File:Absinthe.png|40px]] Strangling Willow Absinthe===
|-
|Ah, someone with refined taste. This is Strangling Willow Absinthe, a popular beverage<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Drown_it_in_absinthe._Prepare_it_for_ignition.|Drown it in absinthe. Prepare it for ignition.|Fallen London|}}''"liquor that will burn and is not '''too''' poisonous."''</ref> among bohemians and anyone looking to liven up bland salons.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Trade_them_off_to_the_Portly_Sommelier|Trade them off to the Portly Sommelier |Fallen London|}}''"you'll have enough absinthe for two artistic movements"''</ref> While it hardly has any connection to the willow tree (there are hardly any trees down here, after all), its name isn't for naught. The thing about Strangling Willow is that it is ''animate beyond reason''. If left alone, it can easily escape any ordinary bottle, and you don't want to let it run around.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Bottle_of_Strangling_Willow_Absinthe|Bottle of Strangling Willow Absinthe|Fallen London|}}''"Move it on before it gets out again"''</ref> It might jump off your spoon, or start to wiggle in your throat. We have a few bottles right over there, and I really ''insist'' you take at least one as a present.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Go_drinking_with_His_Amused_Lordship|Go drinking with His Amused Lordship|Fallen London|}}''"was he just getting rid of a menace to his cellar?

===[[File:Bottleblack.png|40px]] Black Wings Absinthe===
|-
| An exotic and cryptic drink manufactured by Mr Wines. This night-black alcohol smells of wormwood and leather, and seems to move on its own.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Bottle_of_Black_Wings_Absinthe|Bottle of Black Wings Absinthe|Fallen London|}}''"What is this stuff?"''</ref> While avoided by most of Fallen London's sane public, it is exceptionally popular among hunters who wish to kill the [[The Vake|Vake]]. This absinthe grants hallucinogenic visions: of distant stars, of endless open space that stretches in all directions, of flight in the middle of the night.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Absinthe_sends_the_hunter_yonder|Absinthe sends the hunter yonder|Fallen London|}}''"stars remember stars above below before the coldest hunting ground then called"''</ref> It also makes the unfortunate drinker run around the city in a cloak like a maniac. Good thing you won't remember that after it wears off.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Drink_the_bottle_yourself|Drink the bottle yourself|Fallen London|}}''"Black-cloaked man-thing roams Ladybones Road!"''</ref>
Even more sinister and rare is a new variant of this brew - Black Wings Absinthe Nouveau. Not much is known about it, but it has a deep scarlet color, and even the most daring hunters are best advised to avoid it.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Black_Wings_Absinthe_Nouveau|Black Wings Absinthe Nouveau|Fallen London|}}''"Tiny jewelled bottle containing a thin scarlet liquor"''</ref>

Ah, the drink of immortality. What's that? You want our Firkin of Hesperidean Cider? That'll be 160000.00 Echoes, thank you. You can sample a small sip though.

|A coveted brew of caffeine that acts a powerful, and one might even say ''explosive,'' restorative. [[The Khanate|The Leopard]] loves this in particular. Coffee lovers in Vienna are also quite fond of it. Don't tell them it's brewed from bat guano, though; that's just another of [[The Masters of the Bazaar#Mr Wines|Mr Wines']] jokes... <ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Darkdrop_Coffee|'Darkdrop_Coffee'|Fallen London|}}''"Musky!

|Tea is common in the Neath. But this tea is not the ordinary stuff that street vendors offer to the undemanding public. Only the finest and the highest quality tea leaves are used to brew ''our'' magnificent tea. Our shipper says that the jasmine was gathered in [[the Elder Continent]] itself! ...Or did he say [[the Surface]]? Regardless of origin, it is the best and most remarkable tea you could find here. <ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Jasmine_Leaves|Jasmine Tea|Fallen London|}}''"A jealously-guarded blend."''</ref> Except for...

It's admittedly a bit strange to see this glimmering coral in tea, considering it is primarily used in jewelry and as an analogue of tobacco snuff. But it is indeed used in tea, and it is terribly expensive.
