When a cold winter ends, and the snow thaws and the icy rivers crack and flow once more, the sun beats down and the first buds of new growth unfurl from the warming soil. It is then people's thoughts often turn to the future, to possibility, and to fertility. Across Faerûn, the coming of spring is marked with a festival called Greengrass. Offerings are made to the gods in hope of a fertile season, and people come together to dance and drink. Spring comes harder and slower to Luskan than in many places, and that makes this bright, verdant herbal cocktail all the more vital. The Greengrass perfectly captures the spirit and mood of the festival all year round.
Greengrass is very popular with those who feel an intense connection to nature, especially the members of the wide-ranging Emerald Enclave, a collective of druids and rangers with agents everywhere. Someone ordering a Greengrass cocktail may be a member of the Enclave signaling their arrival in town to possible friends—or enemies.
