Harry Shotters and the Chamber of Spirits

By Patrick Dixon, Sean Aitch, Jackie Dixon

There is a lot to celebrate in the Wizarding World these days with J.K Rowling revealing the Ilvermorny sorting quiz on Pottermore. So we decided to mix up another batch of Harry Shotters to mark the occasion.

And because holding up a glass and saying “cheers” in so very dull, we’ve included a special toast you can make for each drink. Be sure to annunciate it clearly, before your speech becomes too slurred.



On a serious note, this will probably be the last round of Harry Shotters we come out with. We want to keep going, but we also want to bring you the very best drinks. Are there still a few more puns we could mash together? Probably. It wouldn’t be too tough, but the joke quality would dip too far for our liking. Better that we hang up our mixing wands now with our heads held high.

With that being said, it’s time to do the right thing and get mixing. Enjoy our last batch of Harry Shotters!





1. Hogwarts Espresso

If we were to rate this drink out of 10, we’d give it a 9 and ¾. This tasty shooter will get your engine running, just make sure you pace yourself and don’t go off the rails. If you start believing you can magically run through brick walls, you’ve had too many.

Suggested Toasting Spell: “Espresso Patronum!”





2. Drunko Malfoy

You’ll soon find out that some wizarding drinks are better than others. You wouldn’t want to go around mixing with the wrong sort.

Suggested Toasting Spell: “Rumbarda Maxima!”





3. Hufflepunch

It makes sense that the most inclusive House has a Harry Shotter named after it. After all, the best drinking buddies are friendly, loyal, and trustworthy.

Suggested Toasting Spell: “Vodkamenti!”





4. Gimlet of Fire

Eternal glory awaits the drinker who can not only mix this variation of the gimlet cocktail, but light it aflame without hurting themselves. Just make sure you are old enough to pass your federal government’s age line before enjoying one. Funny, for a site that’s been naming alcoholic beverages after a children’s book series, that was the first time we’ve officially discouraged underage drinking. Well done, us!

Suggested Toasting Spell: “Ginflamari!”





5. Kahlua Lovegood

This one is sweet and Irish, with an affinity for plums. Here’s a drinking game: watch Order of the Phoenix and take a shot every time Luna says or does something adorable, funny, or insightful. You’ll probably be fending off wrackspurts and chasing after nargles by the end of it.

Suggested Toasting Spell: “Epwhiskey!”





6. Longbottom Iced Tea

Don’t be fooled, this drink is stronger than it looks. Memory loss might be a problem, so be sure to have your Remembrall handy.

Suggested Toasting Spell: “Inebrius Totalus!”





7. Sirius Blackout

We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. Have a couple of these potent drinks and see which part comes out!

Suggested Toasting Spell: “Alcoholomora!”





8. Shirazkaban

Pour one out for all the people doing time in Azkaban. This a mixture that only the most hardened, twisted, and utterly insane wine drinkers can handle.

Suggested Toasting Spell: “Winegardium Leviosa!”





Here are the original Harry Shotters in case you missed them.

Oh, and here is the follow-up series, Harry Shotters and the Deathly Hangover.
