Dargoth 11-11-04, 05:49 PM	Check out Kuje Ed Greenwood response thread, Ed gave a fairly detailed list of Alcholic drinks including their Faerunian name, there real world equivelant and the regions in the FR where said drink is commonly found

Faraer 11-11-04, 06:01 PM	I don't recall that, Dargoth. Are you thinking of his post on mixed drinks? Other than those, the main kinds are ale, beer, lager, stout; cider; mead; wine (blackberry wine, cherry wine, sluth, zzar, sherry, almond sherry); spirits -- brandy, whiskey/whisky; liqeurs -- clarry, cordial, elverquisst, firewine, amberfire, Tashlutan amberthroat. The main non-alcoholic drinks are water, mintwater, and tea (berry tea, bitterroot tea). Look here (http://oracle.wizards.com/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0106b&L=realms-l&F=&S=&P=15503) for some specific drinks.

Kuje31 11-11-04, 08:17 PM	It was longer than what youve listed, Eds response should be in Kuje31s file Here I'll list it just to clear it up. :) "Hi, Dargoth. Well, here’s the best I can do right now, re. answers to these: 1. I’ve created extensive lists of drinkables, recipes, and suchlike for inns, but always avoided doing direct real-world equivalents, especially for “mixed drinks” or “cocktails.” However, you will find many notations in my published writings along the lines of ‘firewine tastes somewhat like a cross between RealWorldA and RealWorldB.’ To help you with this specific query, however, here are the general guidelines: in the warmer climes (ending, as one goes northwards, at about Amn), drinks may sometimes be blended for taste reasons (or mixed with fresh fruit juices), but are almost never deliberately made stronger by combining one alcoholic drinkable with another. However, from Westgate northwards, and Beregost northwards on the Sword Coast, most inns and taverns serve fortified drinkables. These are of two sorts: the booze that ‘the house’ adulterates habitually and ‘everybody knows about,’ and mixed drinks that are done on the spot, at the request of a patron or upon a patron accepting a clear offer of “warming” a drink. The first sort of “warmed” drinks include zzar and what’s called “deep ale” or “fire ale” (beer to which a grain-based spirit has been added). These may be watered to make them go farther if the taste is harsh (and of course to save the establishment some coins), and also often fortified with distilled spirits (usually potato-based, in other words close to what we’d call vodka: essentially clear, colorless, and tasteless). The second sort of “warmed” drinks only approach the elaborate recipes of our real-world cocktails in places like Waterdeep, Silverymoon, Luskan, Neverwinter, Sembia, Westgate, and the coastal ports of the Dragonreach. Usually they’re simple “warm your wine by stirring in a little throatslake, goodsir?” concoctions (“throatslake” being the generic term for a distilled spirit such as gin, bourbon, vodka, whiskey, et al). If the throatslake has a strong taste that clashes with the wine, the result can be, well, horrible. :} Years back, one of my players spent a gaming weekend at our cottage serving us all various cocktails and giving them Realms names, so I can give you here what I can remember of her admittedly short list (of course, you’d have to rename all the ingredients to make them fit the Realms, too, and I’ve never bothered): Angel’s Kiss: Tansar’s Dance Buck’s Fizz: Marthoun’s Flagon Cherry Sling: Dragondown Daiquiri: Ladydagger Gimlet: Bright Blade Margarita (Strawberry): Wyvernblood Mint Julep: Sea Ward Slake Pina Colada: Snowfire Port and Starboard: Nightfire Rickey (Gin): Lightning Bolt Rob Roy: Battle Banner Rusty Nail: Merchants’ Tears Rum Eggnog: Harbour Foam Stone Fence: Stag At Bay Tequila Sunrise: Caravan Lantern I accept NO responsibility for what happens if these are used in play sessions. * My * players are more than crazed enough without alcoholic aid."
Lashan 11-11-04, 09:44 PM	There was that eluding to something similiar to a wine cooler in Volo's Dalelands. I recall it as being some sort of watered down wine drink from Sembia.
warlockco 11-11-04, 10:52 PM	Besides those, there is many listed in Aurora's Whole Realms Catalog. :) A very good source of drink and food item. Plus a bunch of other neat items. 2E but still a very nice sourcebook. Just have to work on the prices for alot of items, since Prices in 2E and 3E vary quite a bit on things.
Faraer 11-12-04, 12:27 PM	Right, it's the post I thought it was, which doesn't tackle the subject of drinks in general but mixed drinks specifically.

ssvegeta555 11-13-04, 03:23 PM	If you have the Baludrs gate PC game go to the inns. At the inns they serve alcohol drinks. I can't remember how many different drink there were but it will help to compile a list.
