Votarra Breeze

Votarra Breeze is a drink initially created by the Goblin known as Kash Monet for his restaurant chain Kash 'n Taco.  

The Soft Drink

Votarra Breeze is a mix of two flavors, both fruits that are grown in the place of origin, the remote cave known as Votarra Den. These flavors are Kiwi and Lime, and were chosen because of their taste as well as the colors, which are similar to the colors of Goblins.   In fact, Kash Monet particularly modeled the color of Votarra Breeze after his friend and fellow Monion: Roblin "Biggz" Bigeye. He said the color was very distinct and eyecatching, therefore it would be perfect for an addicting drink.

Original Recipe

Addicting, of course, is the key word. Votarra Breeze, in its original recipe, was a rather different drink.   The flavors of Kiwi and Lime were still there, but they included another ingredient in the mix. Kash 'n Taco was a drug front, and therefore it contained drugs. Particularly, cocaine was mixed into the drink.   Kash Monet was not only a businessman, but he was an alchemist.   He knew the perfect recipe to make an addicting drink, hoping to hook people on the drink so they would pay more and more for it and buy more of his drugs as well as his food products at Kash 'n Taco.   The drugs included in Votarra Breeze only increased the addicting nature of them and gave it a kick that differentiated it from other drinks of its kind, though there were truly few drinks of its kind.  

Glass Bottles

Votarra Breeze is sold in glass bottles, which are expensive to manufacture. However, if they are cleaned prior and brought to a Kash 'n Taco location, old bottles can be refilled (for the price of a usual Votarra Breeze). The benefit for customers is that they get store credit on their order of other items, but not Votarra Breeze.

Kash 'n Taco

Kash 'n Taco was a business created as a front by Goblin Drug Kingpin Kash Monet to expand his drug empire. He was already a successful businessman thanks to his prolific place in the drug trade, so he used this as a way to get it to more people.   Upon his death, the World Court passed it onto other Goblins in hopes that it could become a legitimate business. Most locations shut down, but the new owners did turn it around into a non-drug company.   The new Goblin owners say of the business that it is a bad representation of Goblin society, as Kash was an exception to the rule and does not in any way represent Goblins, who are largely not in the drug trade.
The reasons for this are, of course, because of the costly manufacturing process of the glass bottles, but also because Kash intended for people to do this and, if they intended on only getting Votarra Breeze, it would incentivize them to buy more off the menu, or if they didn't intend to get Votarra Breeze, now the customer would consider it to save money.  

Flavor Variations

Since the death of Kash Monet, new flavors have been introduced based on plans found in his home. All of which retain the green color of Votarra Breeze, though the green is not exactly Biggz Green.   Some of these include:
  • Green Apple
  • Pineapple
  • Green Grape
  • Pear
  • Avocado
  • Honeydew
Some have called at least a few of these flavors "gross" and "disgusting" but there are those that still drink them. After all, drugs or not, the Votarra Breeze recipe was designed to be addicting.

Ok, when I said "Kash Monet" out loud, I literally LOL'ed. This is a fun riff on real world beverages!

Definitely very proud of Kash Monet, it really fools you for a second before the joke hits.
