Description

This fantastic book shows the reader how to make fifty fun cocktails that have been inspired by the wonderful world of Harry Potter. From classics such as the Black Russian and Dry Martini to brand new creations like Greyback's Lethal Bite and Snape's Overflowing Cauldron, there is sure to be a drink to suit everyone's taste buds. Each cocktail recipe contains a basic list of ingredients required, simple instructions showing you how to make it and a suggestion for the best glass to use. So whether you fancy a glass of Godric's Gobbler, a pitcher of Poisonous Punch or a couple of cosmopolitans, this is the perfect book for you. The cocktails within this book have been carefully chosen so that most of them can be made with ingredients from your local supermarket or liquor store, rather than you having to order in speciality items; this means you can enjoy your cocktail evening without a handful of left-over bottles spending the rest of eternity in the back of your cupboard!

This book is written for all the Harry Potter fans out there who - like me - absolutely love the wizarding world created by JK Rowling. Nothing within this book would have been possible without the incredible stories she wrote for us all - so thank you Jo, from the bottom of my heart!

Introduction
Before we get to the cocktails, here’s a few thoughts and pieces of advice that are worth bearing in mind if you’re thinking of holding a cocktail party - or just want to try out the various recipes within this book.
Firstly, the key to any successful cocktail night is variety - and that means having plenty of ingredients. In addition to the normal spirits such as vodka, whisky (or whiskey, although in this book I’ve stuck to the former so as not to complicate matters), white rum and gin, you’re also going to need a few drinks and accessories that you might not already own, but are still fairly easy to pick up. I’ve chosen to use Midori (a melon liqueur) for most of the green recipes in this book as it enables you to make cocktails of the most wonderful colour; although it’s not a fixture in your average drinks cabinet, it isn’t too hard to get hold of. Another is Angustora bitters; you might not know the name but you’ll probably recognise the bottle - it’s the small one with paper wrapped around it that you’ve always wondered about! Sugar syrup and Grenadine are both found in the spirits section of most supermarkets and are thankfully not too expensive, and the same can be said for curacao and triple sec. Aside from the bottles, you should also stock up on fresh juices (orange, cranberry and pineapple are the most common), bottled juices (mostly lemon and lime) and fresh fruit - limes, lemons and oranges unsurprisingly. Mint leaves are sometimes used, and you’ll probably want to buy a great big bag of ice, as you’ll be using plenty of it! Lastly, a jar of cocktail cherries and a bag of specially prepared olives will mean you can add that finishing touch to a drink.
You’ll also need a cocktail shaker - it’s not just for show, as you’ll need to mix and strain plenty of the drinks within this book. A cocktail spoon is handy but not essential (it is a good size to help with the layering of shots) as is a ‘muddler’ to help you crush mint leaves and suchlike. Investing in some decent glasses is not essential, but can make all the difference to the ‘feel’ of a drink - a cocktail that should be served in a martini glass just doesn’t look right in an old tumbler. You’ve probably got a potato peeler somewhere handy, which is perfect for creating long slices of orange and lemon peel (curl the peel round a spoon handle to get it into shape after cutting) and having some kind of measuring device around will help you find the right ratio of ingredients.
Lastly, it should be said that whilst making these cocktails can be great fun, you should always drink responsibly and in moderation.
Enjoy the cocktails!
