Polyjuice Potion | Harry Potter Inspired Recipes
A Harry Potter-inspired polyjuice potion recipe that's quick, easy, and magic-free, made with ginger ale, lime sherbet, and optional 'human bits.'
Ingredients
- 2 cups lime sherbet
- 4 cups ginger ale
- 4 tablespoons raisins optional as the 'human bits'
- ½ cup mandarin oranges optional
- ½ cup vodka or gin for adult polyjuice potion, optional
Instructions
- Let the sherbet thaw until it's runny but still mostly frozen. It should be thawed enough to easily pour through a funnel, but still remain very cold. Do not microwave the sherbet.
- Use a funnel to carefully pour the melted sherbet into a tall glass bottle, enough to fill the bottle about halfway. Add the raisins and mandarin oranges if you're using them. Refreeze the sherbet in the bottle. For a fun effect, freeze the bottle at an angle so that the sherbet appears to be sideways in the bottle.
- Just prior to serving, use a funnel to add the ginger ale—and alcohol if you're using it—to the bottle until it's full and foam starts coming out of the top.
- When serving cups of Polyjuice Potion, say the name of the person you want to transform into while dropping a raisin into the potion. Transform and enjoy! The effects of the Polyjuice Potion will wear off after one hour.
