More Harry Potter-Themed Shooters

By Patrick Dixon, Sean Aitch

Wow. You guys downed those Harry Shotters with N.E.W.T. level proficiency, which in this case stands for Naturally Exceptional Whiskey Taster. We thought long and hard about unleashing another round on the world; this new collection of shooters is arguably more potent than its predecessor. Ultimately we decided that if Avada Tequila didn’t slow you down, nothing will. Let’s call this set, “Harry Shotters and the Deathly Hangover.”

Please enjoy responsibly.

1. Polybooze Potion

Just mix together all the nearly-empty bottles of booze you have lying around and you’ll be magically transformed into a drunken mess! Forget about waiting 21 days, the effects of this potion are almost instant.

2. Cedric Daiquiri

Raise a glass to honour a drink that is an exceptional hard liquor, infinitely great-tasting, and a fierce, fierce shot. You’ll support this drink to the bitter end.

3. Gin & Tonks

The preferred colour is bubble gum pink, but mix in any of Sour Puss and you’ve got a drink that can take on a wide variety of forms. Try them all to achieve Tonks-level clumsiness.

4. Cognac McClaggen

Best served with an air of pretension. You may find this drink slightly obnoxious and a tad overpowering, despite its earnest efforts to come across as sweet.

5. Rum of Requirement

Secretly collect the flavours or rum that are necessary for your cause, which is this case is probably intoxication. Now, with the deftest of hands, light it all on fire. Friends named Crabbe may be lost in the process.

6. Flourish & Blottoed

Every scholarly drinker needs to start somewhere. This is a sophisticated beverage that comes with a dose of coffee to keep your mind alert and your wits sharp…before your brain inevitably stops functioning properly.

7. Lord Vodkamort

This terrifying drink, also known as That-Which-Must-Not-Be-Drunk, will need to be split into seven parts of vodka. Serve a few to your friends and watch the light leave their eyes.

8. Pear Tickler

What’s better than having your brain tickled by a duo of Harry Potter aficionados? Having your brain tickled by a duo of Harry Potter aficionados while riding a nice buzz. Rara and Rus are the hosts of Tickle The Pear, a podcast that offers fans a funny and insightful literary analysis of the Harry Potter universe. There’s no pretension here; it’s just two women with clever observations and geeky anecdotes from the wizarding world.
