Trollsblood Grog

"'There ain't nothing like a bit of Trollsblood with a fresh kill!' - Lyric from The Stabbing Song"Trollsblood Grog is a traditional Orcish mixed alcoholic drink, though it is favoured by Goblins, Drow, and Teiflings alike. Even Trolls are happy to partake in this beverage, either unaware or uncaring of how it was named. Ordering a "Trollsblood" is also a good way for a vampire to get their fix without being detected while travelling.

History
The origins of Trollsblood Grog are unclear and disputed. Orcish clans still argue and maim one another over whose ancestor first came up with the idea, while some goblins dispute that it was an orc at all. Their stories, however, all follow a similar thread:

A troll attacked a hunting party as they were setting up camp for the night. The hunters battled and killed the troll. The hunters had been luckless in their hunt that day and were more than happy to butcher and prepare the troll's corpse, eating what they could tonight. As they began, one hunter was so hungry that she began ripping into the troll's flesh with her teeth. She then washed the meat down with a swig of grog. The hunter remarked on how well the troll's blood seemed to mix with the drink and mixed some of the troll's blood into the grog to show her companions. From this point onward, it was a hit.

Though it is commonly prepared by bartenders on the fly, some entrepreneurs have sought to tap into the grog's market, promising a perfect and standard mix in every bottle. Most notable among these are the Rosebud Sisters of Great Falls City.

Taste, Scent, and Appearance
The properties of Trollsblood Grog vary depending on which recipe was used to make the drink. It can range anywhere from bright red to black in colour, while it's smell depends on which alcoholic beverage was mixed with the blood to create the grog. Similarly, the taste of the drink is exactly as one might expect; the taste of the alcohol, mixed with the unmistakable metallic tinge of blood.
