Aura of Drunkenness.

The rum lord radiates an aura of drunkenness to a radius of 20 feet. Each creature that starts its turn in the aura must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 hour. A creature that has consumed alcohol within the past hour has disadvantage on the saving throw. While poisoned, a creature falls prone if it tries to move more than half its speed during a turn. A creature that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to the rum gremlin lord’s Aura of Drunkenness for 24 hours.
Hearty.

The rum lord adds its Constitution modifier to its AC (included in the Armor Class).
Magic Resistance.

The rum lord has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
One for the Road.

When the rum lord hits a poisoned enemy with any weapon, the target takes an extra 1d6 poison damage.
Innate Spellcasting. The rum lord's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
At will: prestidigitation
3/day each: command

Actions

Multiattack. The rum lord makes two attacks: one with its ale tap scepter and one with its broken bottle shiv.
Ale Tap Scepter. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage.
Broken Bottle Shiv. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d4 + 4) piercing damage.
Bring Me Another Round! (1/Day).

The rum lord lets out a thunderous belch, calling 1d4 rum gremlins. The called rum gremlins arrive in 1d4 rounds, acting as allies of the lord and obeying its spoken commands. The rum gremlins remain for 1 hour, until the lord dies, or until the lord dismisses them as a bonus action.
Rotgut Belch (Recharge 6).

The rum lord vomits green bile in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, a target takes 18 (4d8) poison damage and is covered in green bile for 1 minute. On a success, a target takes half the damage and isn’t covered in bile. A creature, including the target, can take an action to wipe off the bile. Rum gremlins have advantage on attack rolls against creatures covered in a rum lord’s green bile.
