Golden Hoardfucker

After that drink you have zero fucks to give.
— Description of the Golden Hoardfucker on the recipe
   

Overview

  The Golden Hoardfucker is a legendary drink, originally crafted and consumed by Horifax the Golden after his victorious undertaking of negotiating and establishing the Golden Hoard Capital and Investment Management banking system.   It is said that the Dragonborn celebrated in his large chair with a smug smile and then decided it was time to celebrate with a real drink, not this bland and weak dwarven whiskey or ale, no, a real drink, worthy of the occasion. So he got up and to work.  
"Why is it described as golden?"
"Because Horifax made it. He is described as the Golden, so it made sense."
— Conversation on the naming of the drink
 

Legendary Drink is Legendary

  Nobody knows the ingredients to the Golden Hoardfucker, legend goes that Horifax wrote the ingredients on a large piece of parchment and burned it himself after consuming the first dozen batches. On purpose? Who knows. So the ingredients are as legendary as the drink itself; barkeepers, keepers, alchemists and chemists are still trying to decipher the meaning behind the description and the tales to find the right components.   There are many recipes in honour of the Golden Hoardfucker, some slightly changed the name or the meaning or whatever their mind spat out.  
  It is said that this drink, this Golden Hoardfucker, was served on ice, in a huge crystal goblet. It had the colour of smokey glass or dusty tears or watered down milk, but everyone is on the same page when it comes to the white steam coming out of the goblet, because the drink was emitting heavy, white smoke which was - allegedly - not coming from the ice in the drink.   At first it smells like iced citrus, cold and refreshing, combined with a bit of mint or meltpepper. The steam is cold, like it was deep frozen in a glacier and is happy to be released.   Then you want to drink it. It lures you in with the fresh, rich scent, the steam invites you in, caresses your senses with alluring cloudy fingers. The fluid is cold or warm or both at the same time, nobody is really sure. You take a sip. The taste is cold or warm or both or burning, the second sip catapults you into a sensory disarray. You feel like you are in a large cave, cold from outside, hot on the inside; there is a huge pile of gold; coins and bars and bits. They speak to you, invite you in, whispering alluring words, seductively even.   You start to unclothe yourself, walking towards the huge, insanely, absurdely amount of gold, lower yourself into the cold embrace to give it the love it deserves.   And then you wake up and realise you haven't moved an inch since the drink took ahold of you.  

Sayings

 
Once you have drank it, you never want to have anything else for a quick trip into a golden hoard. It is safer than asking a Dragonborn to open one of their vaults for you.
— Barkeeper to a returning guest
 
"So much gold... come here, you shiny thick bar of... hu? Where... oh, hey Ferga, where was I?"
— Customer after the Hoardfucker wore off
 
"Why again are we doing this?"
"To get as much gold as we can carry. I wanna build a hoard so we can sleep in it. With it. With each other."
"It was this drink, wasn't it?"
— A couple after she tried the Golden Hoardfucker

Alright that link in the quote got me, nearly spit out my apple juice, well done, well placed :D And that is quite the brew indeed, it sounds like it has quite the effect that should desire to be experienced at least once in a lifetime, should that be possible. A fitting tale around its origins and recipe as well, I like the idea that its believed the creator burned the recipe, tis a nice touch. Well written Eddie, definitely tucking this fun piece into my collection. Got a good laugh and smiles out of me.
