The history of Neverwinter is tumultuous and chaotic. Other cities have experienced similar levels of pain and devastation, but what makes Neverwinter unusual is that it has survived. Neverwinter has endured riots, fires, plagues, storms, coups, sieges, and a volcanic eruption so devastating that it is recorded in the city's history as the Ruining. That last cataclysm destroyed most of the city, but the city still clawed its way back.
Through it all, the Driftwood Tavern has provided a lasting tabernacle and an oasis of certainty through generations of peril. The Endurance cocktail was added to the tavern's menu as a commemoration of that history and of the tavern's place in it. Light, subtle, and summery, it is by design a hopeful drink.
