This refreshing summer punch was designed by Durnan with a very specific customer in mind: the customer who does not want to come inside the Yawning Portal. These people might want to visit and perhaps look inside. They may even take a Yawning Portal beermat to show their friends back home, but the idea of sitting in a room with a giant hole in the middle that leads to near-certain death does not relax them. The possibility of seeing someone emerge from the portal screaming in pain with their arm ripped off or weeping over the death of their best friend does not put them in a drinking mood. And the chance—slim as it is—of a powerful lich lord emerging from the portal in a cloud of death does not sound to them like a fun night out. It takes all sorts to make a city.
For those customers, a table can be set up in front of the tavern in the warm sunshine. They can order a pitcher of this delicious drink and can imagine, just for a moment, what it might be like to live in a world without any dragons.
