As I trudged through the barren tundra with my Inuit guide, we came across a raucous group of vivacious natives. The chief welcomed us with open arms and we had a ceremonial feast. It was then that I was entranced by the pulchritude of this most majestic beverage. Upon imbibing said beverage, I could feel the spirits diffusing through my veins like the initial frost of winter. It was not long before I felt myself to be shrouded in a blanket of the sublime permafrost of this enigmatic beverage. Unfortunately, as I regained consciousness, the numbing sting of the snow bank upon which I had slept hurt almost as much as the fact that I was now forsaken by my loyal guide.
