Dragon's Breath Absinthe

Dragon's Breath Absinthe is a potent, emerald-green liquor famous for its strong anise flavor and its mind-altering properties. Infused with a blend of exotic herbs and distilled to perfection, this absinthe is not for the faint of heart. Often enjoyed as part of a ritual involving flames and sugar, the drink earns its fiery name and reputation. While prized for its unique flavor, it is equally infamous for inducing vivid hallucinations in those who dare to overindulge.
Dragon's Breath Absinthe has a bold, licorice-like anise flavor, complemented by herbal undertones from wormwood, fennel, and other secret ingredients. The initial sip is sharp and intense, with a silky texture that gives way to a lingering, bittersweet finish. The drink’s potency leaves a warming sensation, fitting its fiery namesake.
Originating in the mystic enclaves of Valoria, Dragon's Breath Absinthe was initially crafted by alchemists experimenting with herb-infused liquors. The emerald color and hallucinogenic effects quickly earned it a reputation among mages, artists, and thrill-seekers. Over time, the drink became a symbol of rebellion and creativity, with its preparation ritual adding an air of mystique and danger.
Drink Effect

Effect: Drinking a standard serving (1 ounce) of Dragon's Breath Absinthe requires the drinker to make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. The effects vary depending on the result:
Success:The drinker feels invigorated and gains advantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Charisma (Performance) checks for 1 hour due to heightened senses and creativity.
Failure (by less than 5): The drinker experiences mild hallucinations, causing disadvantage on Intelligence and Wisdom checks for 1 hour.

Failure (by 5 or more): The drinker is overwhelmed by vivid hallucinations and becomes incapacitated for 10 minutes. Afterward, they experience disadvantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma checks for 1 hour.

Overindulgence: Drinking more than one serving within an hour increases the save DC by 2 per additional serving. A roll of natural 1 results in unconsciousness for 1 hour.

Optional Flavor: The hallucinations can include visions of dragons, shimmering lights, or distorted perceptions of time and sound, at the DM's discretion.
