Gin
Gin is not a drink for warriors but rather a diplomat’s dagger in a glass. Infused with fragrant botanicals and fermented regrets, it sharpens social instincts while fraying the veil between truths. Crafted in copper coils by botanists and liars. A staple of dystopian salons and rebel diplomats.
Best sipped when plotting, deceiving, or seducing intel.
