A bright green, herbal gin cocktail inspired by Harry Potter. Made with fresh cucumber, spinach, lime, and green Chartreuse.
Actual shape-shifting not guaranteed.
Makes: 1 cocktail (plus extra concentrate)
Ingredients
1 oz Polyjuice Concentrate (recipe below)
1 oz gin
½ oz freshly squeezed lime juice
½ oz green Chartreuse
Instructions
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Add the Polyjuice Concentrate, gin, freshly squeezed lime juice, and green Chartreuse.
Shake well.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
A Couple of Notes
Fresh lime juice: Always freshly squeezed. Seriously.
Green Chartreuse: Don't substitute yellow Chartreuse. It's much too mellow for this cocktail.
Polyjuice Concentrate
The secret ingredient that gives Polyjuice Potion its distinctive green color. No magic required.
Ingredients
1 English cucumber
1 large handful fresh spinach
Instructions
Roughly chop the cucumber and add it to a blender with the spinach.
Blend until smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a jar and set aside.
“Set aside” is fancy-speak for “don't throw it out.”
