A drink to celebrate the victory of your spoils, and the loss of your enemies, colored after a metal we all know far too well~
Old Timer
Sugar, Angostura bitters, Bourbon, Orange peelA drink, as a old fashioned as the first assassination itself, this drink is one of those mature old timers, wanting to sit back and enjoy the refreshing taste of good bourbon, while swimming in the victory of their latest contact fulfillment. Although one may think, catching an "old timer" drinking and Old timer might be easy, never forget. The best assassins are always two steps ahead, and that bullet you have lined up for them, might as well be pointed right at yourself...

Daedrix's - Vampire's Kiss

Are you ready to take on the Vampire's Kiss?
Amethyst's - Raenwolf's Embrace
Hard Cider, Cab, Honey, Cinnamon sticks, Cloves, Star anise, Brandy, Orange peelsSoft-spoken, gentle, spreading warmth all throughout your body, this drink, much like the Raen who inspired it, spreads joy in every sip. Kept warm for serving, each mug of this mulled cider is for those who are passing by and wish to stay a bit to enjoy the time they do have off. Closing your eyes, picturing the scent as it wanders throughout your nostrils, this drink will remind you of the sweet light haired Raen, almost as if she is embracing you, urging you to drink more of it.
Ryu's - Deft Hand
Vodka, Sake, Spicy Ginger Syrup, Sparkling Water, Cucumber Juice, Lime JuiceYou all know how much we love our La Noscean Mules here at Ebony Rose, and this refreshing Kugane Mule is no exception. Smooth, silent, beautiful to the taste. Much like the Raen himself, this drink is light, as one must be when they are a thief. Nimble, as to not attract attention, beautifully poured and garnished in a copper tin to mimic the red hued hair of the said Raen. Finished with a cucumber, this drink is one to enjoy after a hot day of stealing
Louka's - Spicy Lick
Bourbon Whiskey, Irish Cream liqueur, Spiced Hot Chocolate, Star Anise, Bubble Chocolate, Cinnamon StickSpicy, sweet, and will knock the wind out of your breath. This drink is an accurate representation of a staff member who may be as equally as chaotic as the Silver Chimera. This miqo'te has a weakness for creamy drinks~ and i don't just mean alcohol. Forever doomed to desire someone else's affection, Loukas' inspired drink is nothing less of the miqo'te hiimself. Spicy, flirty, and ready to find his way into your mouth~
Qalele's - Cieldalaen Rum Punch
Meracydian Spiced Rum, Cieldalaen pineapple juice, coconut milk, ginger ale, lime zest, orange zestA cocktail straight from the Cieldalaes, its sweet and tangy flavor hits you just as hard as the rum, and just as hard as the bartender serving it. Great for larger groups, those looking for a pick me up, or those who are invested in making sure that their nighttime taste is sweet and palatable.

About The Ebony Rose
Founders
Kolgrim Hayashida and Ryunosuke Hayashida, two men some would see as criminals and others would accept as the accomplished mercenaries and vigilantes they are. The Ebony Rose was the brain child of Kol and dear friend Evelynn Markov who left him to run the operation with his combination of fierce fighting skills and drive to destroy the Empire he once called home, the small Raen is a force to be reckoned with. Daedrix was the obvious choice to run the legal face of Ebony Rose, a charming seductress who was never one to get her hands dirty with the fighting, but shines under the eyes of her patrons.Ebony Rose brings together former imperial soldiers such as himself, thieves, killers, monsters, and lets them work together and do something that could help. Not change, not be good, but rather use their abilities as thieves or killers to rid the world of those who are worse and give the wealth to those who are suffering the most.They steal from the rich to give to the poor, they go after the criminals that the Grand Companies cannot or will not touch, they sabotage Garlean transports, taking supplies and weapons to groups still rebuilding or still fighting off the Empire, The Rose also offers shelter and food or means of obtaining it to anyone who seeks it.
Previous Owner
Daedrix Vairemont had taken care of Ebony Rose's legal face for several years. As Kol & Ryu's past lover, she held tight to keeping the venue true to its roots and traditions, changing very little over her time as Madam of the House. It was not until she vanished with only a letter to those close to her and the staff that Ebony Rose traded into the hands of Styx and Kjat who now attempt to keep the bars traditions alive.
Services
Ebony Rose does not operate the same way most brothels or clubs tend to.You will not find your classic reception desk by the front door, or a list of services and prices.Ebony Rose was created with the the freedom of the staff in mind. No member of staff, not even the owners, have to wait until after hours to offer their time.Strike up conversation with anyone you find interesting, and they will tell you their availability, pricing and book a room for you. The staff will handle payment themselves, no middle man required.
