Shade of the evening is a thick, blue drink peculiar to the warlocks of Qarth. It is made from the inky blue leaves that grow on the black-barked trees found around the House of the Undying.[1]

About

It is deep blue and viscous, flowing like honey.[2] It has an unappetising smell and initial taste, having been compared to ink, spoiled meat, and rotten flesh[1][2], but upon swallowing tastes like all things its imbiber has ever tasted, and more.[1]

It is used heavily by the warlocks of Qarth, whose lips have been turned blue by its extended use.[3][4]

Dany raised the glass to her lips. The first sip tasted like ink and spoiled meat, foul, but when she swallowed it seemed to come to life within her. She could feel tendrils spreading through her chest, like fingers of fire coiling around her heart, and on her tongue was a taste like honey and anise and cream, like mother’s milk and Drogo’s seed, like red meat and hot blood and molten gold. It was all the tastes she had ever known, and none of them … and then the glass was empty.[1]
