Madame Rosene is an influential figure in Neverwinter—well connected, well informed, and always invested in the city's success. As proprietor of the Driftwood Tavern and curator of the museum, she has an intimate knowledge of the city's past and present tensions. She also has one other advantage up her sleeve: her cellars.
The Driftwood Tavern is one of the only intact buildings in the city to survive multiple cataclysms, and it has not only preserved the many historic artifacts collected under its roof over the centuries, but also a world-class collection of vintage wines and brandies. Madame Rosene enjoys a glass of that brandy every evening, and to share in her wealth, one must be invited to join her for a nightcap.
The cocktail on the tavern's menu does not use Madame Rosene's private reserve; one would never mix such precious spirits! But it's as close as most patrons will get to the experience of a snifter with the aloof and venerable lady herself, and it is what Madame Rosene will order if she has a second or a third drink.
