Introducing the Wolfsbane Potion Cocktail
The Wolfsbane Potion Cocktail is a smoky, rosemary-infused drink, perfect for those who love a magical twist to their beverages. Inspired by the world of Harry Potter, this potion may not cure werewolfery, but it promises to deliver a delicious and immersive experience.
In folklore, rosemary is known for boosting memory, making it the key ingredient in this potion to help werewolves retain their human memories during transformations. The smoky, woodsy aroma of burnt rosemary adds an extra layer of magic to this cocktail, making it an ideal choice for Halloween or any Harry Potter-themed event.
The original Wolfsbane Potion recipe is complex, but we’ve simplified it to make this drink easy to prepare, without losing its enchanting essence.
Ingredients:
- 30ml Gin
- 30ml Rosemary Simple Syrup
- 15ml Dry Vermouth
- 15ml Green Chartreuse
- 15ml Lemon Juice
- 2 sprigs of rosemary (for smoking and garnish)
Instructions:
- Burn a 4cm piece of rosemary and place it under a coupe glass to infuse the glass with its smoke. The drier the rosemary, the easier it will burn and produce more smoke.
- Allow the glass to sit over the smoking rosemary while preparing the cocktail.
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add gin, rosemary simple syrup, vermouth, green chartreuse, and lemon juice. Shake for 10-15 seconds until well-mixed.
- Strain the mixture into the smoked glass.
- Garnish with a smoking rosemary sprig, allowing the flame to extinguish before serving.
This cocktail combines smoky rosemary with the refreshing botanical notes of gin, making it a standout drink for Halloween or any themed party. Whether you’re a fan of magical potions or simply love a unique, herbal cocktail, the Wolfsbane Potion is sure to impress.
Enjoy the perfect sip for a memorable evening!
