If you are planning on hosting a Game of Thrones Watch Party, you'll definitely need this cocktail to help calm your nerves! Milk of the poppy is made by the Maesters from crushed poppy flowers and used as both a painkiller and anesthetic before (medieval!) surgery. Luckily, our delicious coffee-flavored potion is not quite as strong! Get ready for a real-life taste of the Seven Kingdoms.
