      "All members of the Harpell family are welcome at the Gilded Horseshoe, and their drinks are always free—because all landlords of the Gilded Horseshoe know what happened to former owner Edgourd Mellish generations ago when he asked Lord Morgus Harpell to cover his bar tab. Edgourd now stands in the Harpells' statue garden, wreathed in ivy.",
      "To keep the Harpells happy, there's always a special blend of the Harpell's Reserve in a cask behind the bar. The blend is aged in sacred oak from the Neverwinter Wood, and no one else is allowed to drink it. One fool attempted to jump the bar to sample it and exploded into a cloud of bugs. Another was served the Reserve by mistake and reverted to infancy. An entire group of raiders attempted to rob the bar and almost got away with their heist, but one idiot tried to drink from the barrel and the whole group melted on the spot.",

    "For swing-top bottles, an infusion spiral is the quickest way to get some age into a cocktail. You can also achieve the same aging result with a small barrel. Personal oak aging barrels can easily be found online in a variety of sizes. Just increase the batch size to accommodate the size of your barrel and allow it to rest for 3 to 4 weeks."

When the cocktail has reached the desired intensity, shake well once more and add a large ice cube to a rocks glass. Pour 2½ ounces of cocktail mixture over the ice in each glass. Garnish with a Luxardo cherry and orange peel. Serve at once."
