Magic Martinis: Ann & Jason
On our first day of classes, we were introduced to our Potions teacher - Professor Elixir and her assistant.
We were tasked with making a potion called the Magic Martini which is known to alter the drinker's senses, drink carefully and in moderation as it has an additive effect!
The ingredients were laid out on a silver tray and included basilisk venom, powdered mandrake root, unicorn milk, gillyweed solution, elderflower essence, dragon eggs, and armadillo bile.
Following our instructions, we added the basilisk venom and powdered mandrake root first, followed by the unicorn milk and gillyweed solution. We then added the remaining ingredients and watched our blue solution turn and bubble to a hot pink martini!
All students got an A in their first experiment except for Jesse who left in the middle of the class without asking for a bathroom pass.....
In addition to our Magic Martinis, we also had Magic Hat's #9 (9 3/4 - thanks Ryan for noticing!!!), Snake Bite, and Lion's Share Variety Pack from Firestone.
Recipe:
1 ounce basilisk venom (cabbage juice - seep 1 leaf red cabbage, chopped, in hot water until water has turned purple, then discard cabbage. Add cabbage water and another leaf of cabbage to a blender and blend to mix).
1 smidgen powdered mandrake root (baking soda)
2 ounces unicorn milk (gin)
1 ounce gillyweed solution (cucumber water - shave the skin of a cucumber into long pieces and add to a mason jar of water, let set in fridge for 24 hours)
3/4 ounce elderflower essence (St. Germain's)
1 dragon egg (dry ice)
3/4 ounce armadillo bile (equal parts fresh lemon juice, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup)
