Carolina Reaper (beverage)

"A drink originating along eastern portion of the Red Stream, thought to have been created by famed tabaxi barkeep Sweet Home Carolina in order to prank an Alpettan patron. Luckily, said patron was an oral masochist and enjoyed the drink immensely. It quickly spread across Southern Bautlaon, through Herlbatus, and as far north as the Raventi plains. (There are even rumors of a heavily adapted recipe partaken of by certain Ur'halti brewers.) The drink has been altered somewhat from its original form, as a result of both time and cultural migration. Following is the author's attempt at recreation of the original mix, using partial recipes from The Compleat Vade Mecum of the Mod'rn Seamen and The Epic of Kalatos, as well as a lifetime of study into the mysterious and mercurial ways of our tabaxi cousins.

Hair of Bat ( 1/2 g ~ 1 p)

Tail of Newt (1)

Cry of Cat (30-40 dec)

Tear of Brute (7-12 g)

Juice of Reaper (15-27 g)

Smile from Keeper (3-5 sec)

Make a paste

With tail and hair

Quick to waste

You must take care

Let cat cry

O'er lout-man's tear

Then let lie

Across no mirror

Crush a Reaper

Atop thine pot

Give a smile

And drink a shot

Note - the recipe has been written in the traditional form: lyrical poems are much easier to remember for those who cannot write, and are therefore preferred methods of informational transmission."
