Imported to the Rock of Bral by the barrel directly from the notorious dungeon called Undermountain, Undermountain Alurlyath is a sweet sherry wine made by desperate gnomish vintners that skulk about the mad vined halls of the dungeon. It is said that the grapes that grow in the labyrinth hold the secrets of the successful romance of flavors, and that a glass of genuine Undermountain Alurlyath, bursting with notes of honey and cucumber, will enchant its imbiber with the gift of supernatural confidenceāa phenomenon known as the silver glow. Yet others hold the belief that this is, in fact, a fancy term for the growing false confidence that comes with drink.

"instructions": [
"Cut the cucumber in half crosswise, then cut two thin slices from the cut side of one half and reserve them for garnish. Chop the rest of the cucumber halves and transfer to a food processor. Process into a liquidy pulp, about 10 seconds, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the work bowl.",
"Line a medium bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Scrape the cucumber pulp into the center, gather the edges and corners of the towel, and, working over the bowl, squeeze and twist hard to wring out as much liquid as possible. Compost the pulp or reserve for another use.",
"Fill a cocktail shaker with the sherry, honey syrup, and lemon juice. Cover and shake to blend, about 10 seconds. Remove the cover, add 1 cup of the cucumber juice, and stir to combine.",
"Fill two rocks or wine glasses about halfway with ice, add half the sherry-cucumber mixture to each, top each with 3 ounces seltzer, and stir gently. Garnish each drink with a reserved cucumber slice before serving."
