Harry Potter fans have Monica Swinnanother reason to say cheers. While re-reading Harry Potter and Half-Blood Prince, a food blogger from Mumbai decided to re-create the potion Felix Felicis as a heartwarming cocktail.
In Harry Potter and Half-Blood Prince, Harry wins the potion during a class with Professor Slughorn, who describes Felix Felicis as "liquid luck," a rare potion that brings exceedingly good fortune to whoever consumes it.
Shirin Mehrotra told Mashablewhile the book doesn't mention a recipe, she imagined it to be alcoholic because Slughorn describes it as a drink that can cause giddiness, recklessness and dangerous confidence, "if taken in excess."
"Felix Felicis was something that I wanted to make for a very long time and always imagined it as a boozy drink that'll make you slightly tipsy," Mehrotra said. "The concoction that I made was a mix of sweet, sour, bitter with a hint of cinnamon."
The Felix Felicis drink was part of her Literary Kitchen Project, where she cooks a dish from every book that she has read and styles it the way it might be in the book. In the past, Mehrotra has also made ginger newts from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, beetroot soup and roasted sweet potato from Disgrace, and hot chocolate from Chocolat.
Mehrotra says her next inspiration may be Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Here's the recipe from her blog Foodchants.
Dark rum – 60 ml
Palm jaggery syrup – 2 teaspoons
Orange bitters – 2-3 drops
Lime juice – Half a teaspoon
Cinnamon powder – a pinch
Water/soda/rose wine
1. Take all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake well.
2. Pour the mix in a glass and top it up with water, soda or rose wine and gulp it down.
