- Escape with me to Hogwarts where I'll be your new Potion's Master, today we're brewing up Amortentia, Felix Felicis, and Pepperup Potion. Don't be late, or there will be house demerits!
Today I'm brewing up draughts of three very well known potions from the Wizarding World and I hope you're taking notes on this because there will be a quiz at the end of class. Sorry, couldn't help myself. The world of Harry Potter contains so many evocative potions that it would be easy to wind up with a 90 minute episode here, so instead let's focus on three well known potions and we'll meet for another class down the road, ok? Amortentia, Felix Felicis and Pepperup Potion are all mentioned at pivotal moments in the series and occupy a fair amount of both screen time and page space, so they seemed to be fantastic places to start. In all of these cases I had to make difficult decisions about whether to take from the book description of the films depictions, as there are differences between them. I tried to strike a balance, though it seems a may have leaned a bit more towards the book than the films. Amortentia is described as smelling like whatever the imbiber is attracted too, giving it an ever changing quality. Felix Felicis is described as looking like molten gold. For the pepperup potion we get clearer descriptions of it's effects than it's appearance, so I'm going from there.

You must now hold potions class at least once a week until this BS is over! ⭐💙💛💚❤💜⭐🍹
Yay thank you for this I have been wanting you to make the love potion:)
see , I knew they were mixing cocktails in Harry Potter!
underage drinking in English Public Schools ever rife, smh..
@@angelwhispers2060 agreed he should
PLEASE DO BEETLEJUICE AND ESSENCE FROM THE DARK CRYSTAL.

Functional alcoholic, let's be clear

its TRUE

Alright well the list to seduce Greg now includes.
1. Booze
2. Lavender.
If you ever see a man in a tweed jacket that says he isn't a professor, you've seen a liar
They could be a librarian instead.
What if they're a "Doctor"?
Jerry Lewis Nutty Professor or Fred McMurray... Merlin Jones (Tommy Kirk)
Silly
They could be from Yorkshire, UK
Such a Ravenclaw energy in this video
This is what it looks like when a Ravenclaw is trying to seduce a Hufflepuff.
Bow wow. Much Ravenclaw. Big smart
@@jelfishery ^found the Slytherin
So.... big snob and high-and-mightyness energy?
Alright well the list to seduce Greg now includes.
1. Booze
2. Lavender.
And dungeons and dragons
And movie night
And tweed jackets
3. Tweed
Don't forget nutmeg
The fact that I would never expect Potter themed content in March just makes this post that much more epic. This has beyond made my day.
Same! Here within the first 7 minutes and totally worth it. I hope he keeps this series up!
The funny thing in Germany its on tv right now at this moment so the timing couldn't be more perfect for me 😅
What time of year would you expect it?? It's not a specifically seasonal series
@@Rose-jz6sx You're totally right, it isn't a seasonal series per se other than the division of the school year from the summers, but in the movies specifically there is a lot of focus around Halloween early on because it is about magic etc. and that's how a lot of people identify with that sort of stuff. Even more than that though HP has always felt like a Christmas series. Harry always struggles with not having his own family particularly around the holidays, but is taken care of by the Weasleys, his friends, and of course his school. And all the feasting throughout the books definitely reminds me of the holiday months :D
@@kennyblakenship funny to me summer is the season that stands out the most from the series. But then I have stronger links to the books so maybe thats why
Instead of the gold luster you could make a simple with gold colored sugar that you could buy in most grocery stores. I've tried it testing out some St. Patrick's drinks (that never got served, unfortunately) and it worked pretty well.
Interesting, I'm Irish and we don't have gold coloured sugar readily available but we do have lustre dust in most grocery shops
Pretty! I like to rim glasses with colored sugar.
@@Rose-jz6sx In New Zealand, we don't have either
You're like the Half-Blood Prince writing your own changes to the recipe in the margins of your books
He's only half-blood because the other half is alcohol.
@@Hey-Its-Dingo
Would that give him the same properties of a drunken kungfu master? Always tipsy but can name every potion ingredient known to wizard.
The Shaking Cauldron is an EXCELLENT name for a Harry potter theme Bar.
You should make drinks representing the four Hogwarts houses.
G: whiskey
S: vodka
H: rum
R: gin
menachem greenspan If someone snuck alcohol into the Gryffindor you honestly think it would be whiskey?
@@aleccheckmate2283 firewhiskey for sure
menachem greenspan no. vodka for all four theyre teenagers
@@IAMDARTHVADERBITCH I was thinking
G: slow gin
S: Absinth
H: Wine Coolers
R: Red wine like a Melbac or possibly a Merlo.
My partner hasn't stopped squeaking with joy since she recieved the notification for this video. Thank you for bringing joy into the world.
This reminds me of the potion store owner that has "potion of perceived strength" and "elixer of bravery" and they all have the side effects of decreased dexterity, increased volume and morning headache. And the customer says "are these all booze?" and the owner replies "nope. some are mixers"
Fun fact: In D&D 5e the spell False Life requires "A small amount of alcohol or distilled spirits" as a material component, as well as having verbal and comatic components. This spell just gains you 1d4+4 temporary hit points, which doesn't heal your old ones. Basically it just makes you FEEL like you have more health for a little bit.
So you're basically just doing a shot and yelling "COME AT ME BRO." That's it, that's the spell.
"Amortentia, the most powerful love potion in the world"
*slams down bottle of tequila*
Guaranteed, instant love
If you're into Harry Potter you may enjoy the supercarlinbrothers channel. They do a lot of Harry Potter theories. And when describing Felix felices for their video they have an outtake that they kept in the video which I love where the brother who's presenting asks off screen to the other one if we're really sure they're not just making tequila.
Nah. I used to be big into tequila before I gave myself alcohol poisoning chugging it, but even when I still liked it, it never made me attracted to someone I wasn't into sober. Alcohol doesn't do that, it just makes you more willing to get with someone you're too chicken to admit to being into when sober.
Professor Sazerac Snape.
Now, do be careful when mixing potion ingredients. Add too little and the potion is unstable and weak, Add too much and your mixture could spontaneously combust. So, do be careful. We don't want any unnecessary trips to the medical facilities.
not just combust but explode, melt the cauldron, release toxic gas....really do all manner of things, no wonder snape is always in a bad mood, can you imagine the stress of trying to teach children a art where they could very well blow themselves up?
Wait the potions got Real effects ??
Well, Snape created work arounds in his old potions book and through working hard became an excellent potions master. While not publishing his fix ups for the wizarding community so he can see how his students can or can’t screw up potion class.
I recently had a Pearl Diver at a tiki bar. They kept the gardenia mix in a tub and used an ice cream topping ladle to dip it out. It was much easier to use than pouring it.
Why no Living death drink? Keeping that recipe to yourself, lest it fall into the wrong hands?
It's probably just Everclear or straight up 151. 😂
@@mommyneedsmoscato121 I was going to say the exact same!
Corpse Reviver
1 part absinthe, 2 parts everclear, stir over dry ice
Don't forget the powdered root of asphodel! In fact, considering that wormwood is a classic ingredient of absinthe, an absinthe mix with some sort of floral note (asphodel is a type of lily) would be the perfect representation of the Draught of Living Death
Immediate like!
I've got tons of potion bottles lying around... I'm thinking when my spouse gets laid off next week, we'll have a Potter marathon and sip on these since we actually have several of the ingredients. :D Thank you for the bright highlight in a day of bad news.
Best Spouse Award to you!❤
I need to marry someone like you!!
Omg I'm actually addicted to Earl Grey.
Try Earl Grey tea and to that honey and cinnamon syrup with a 2:5 ratio (2 spoons of honey and 0.5 to 1 spoons of cinnamon syrup for one cup).
❤ I love Earl Grey teas. I love making drinks. Earl Grey is one of my gotos. I also love the immune system boosting teas. I drank tons of them during the COVID pandemic. I never got sick from COVID. ❤
❤ excellent❤
I was sincerely hoping for Draught of Living Death: mostly because of that "bean should be crushed, not cut" that stuck in my mind so much that I think about it any time I crush juniper (or any other berry/seed) while cooking. Also I was curious about how you would have worked out that pale lilac colour.
Anyway, the all seem very interesting, all three above your average, I'd say.
That Lockhart part had me actually laughing aloud.
Won’t be long for this vid to get a million views.
Where'd I leave that Felix Felicis...
How To Drink omg xD
This is the episode I've been waiting for. Yes!! Go greg!
Definitely more Harry Potter drinks. Bring them on!
glad we're getting more mileage out of the Mardi Gras bowl
I appreciate that in light of everything that's going on right now, at the very least we can unwind with a cozy drink.
Cheers.
"And don't forget to swish and flick the sh*t out of your wand!"
Leviosaaaaaaaa
Ahhhhh Accio Bum!
Stop it Ron! Stooooooop
B-but Ron what if I can't get it up
@@Da_Shark ziiiip "leviosaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*
I need to buy proper bar tools. You keep making drinks that would be great for my d&d game nights. Personally that amortentia sounds like perfection
He's literally sponsored by Barfly my dude. Usually a link in the description
Leave it to Greg during these dark and difficult times to turn on the light :)
This is perfect for a Harry Potter marathon while I'm staying at home! Love the tweed!
The background is literally the most cozy thing ever
“Alright class, I will be showing you how to summon some spirits”
But Magos, what of the Machine Spirit?
When you started talking about an earl grey spirit my wife and I were at the edge of our seats hoping you were going to use Corgi Spirits Earl Grey Gin. You should totally check them out, they are a local gin distillery in Jersey City that we fell in love with for their interesting spirits and their earl grey gin makes a mean hot toddie.
Watching and learning from your channel just got me my first interview as a bartender. Thank you so damn much.
Big nerd energy, big tweed energy, big musical energy. After that Harry Potter rant I think you could pull of a Snape cloak
Definitely do more Harry Potter drinks! Love this!
This is awesome, and I love the nerdy sidetrack about Slughorn's timeline of potionmaking. 10/10 video
The overalls tweed coat combination is a powerful look
It's not overalls my dude it's an apron because he spills so much.
Hermione: *holds arm up*
I swear I thought I was the only person on Earth who's heard of Italicus. I've only ever been able to get it at a speakeasy in my city.
Its expensive as hell!!! I need to buy it soon
It always catches my eye when I see it at my local liquor store but I've never heard of any actual use for it until now.
I'm italian and i had never even known about its existence!
I always assumed the pepperup potion was peppermint
Or straight Tabasco.
Or worse, both
Alexander Larkin @alexanderlarkin you’re thinking of the “Elixir to Induce Euphoria” Harry makes to try to persuade Slughorn to give up the memory before he ends up using Felix 🤓⚡️
(Reference is in chapter 22 in HBP)
@howtodrink should make that one in part 2 😜
Made sense to me too, since mint tends to do a good job of clearing the sinuses.
Yeah also assumed peppermint and chilli which works together
Looking forward to the next Potter potions video! You knocked these out of the park and I can't wait to make them myself! Love the show! Keep killing it!
That bergamot bottle has me craving some bioshock drinks!
Never once thought to make a gin toddy. Never thought my inspiration to make a gin toddy would be a harry potter themed video.These all look fantastic though. Will certainly give it a try
I somehow just realized you have been wearing an apron.....I have watched a ton of these and though you were always in Overalls....Lol. Great Episode!
My life is a lie
i always thought pepper-up potion would be peppermint flavoured. I think a hot peppermint drink would have been soothing for a cold.
Hot peppermint tea is a classic help you go to sleep and drink but it's also very soothing when you have a cold. And is considered the traditional remedy for cold and allergies in European traditional medicine
Totally agree
Missed a Boggart reference opportunity with those bitters 😂❤
I love the notes that you always give each drink.
- Oh!
- The smoothiest
Wife "Hey, thats not my scent!"
First time seeing this channel within the first couple seconds completely subscribe due to the atmosphere and the looks of the introduction definitely professional looking!
With the right teacher, I probably would have loved to learn potions! Guess I'll start with the cocktails.
Oh, and I assumed that Slughorn's Felix Felicis was something he had stored in for himself, as he was on the run from Deatheaters before being hired, and was afraid for his life. But, he knew he couldn't just keep drinking the stuff, so he kept it in case of emergency, and was ready to drink it at a moment's notice.
(Say it all together, everyone:
BIG. NERD. ENERGY!)
The HP fandom will never die!
And dang, those closeup shots! Visual magic!
One of my favorite non-alcoholic drinks is a London Fog, consisting of Earl Gray tea steeped in a 50/50 blend of water and half-an-half that has been steamed, vanilla , and honey. I've been trying to make an alcohol based version of this drink for a while which is where I discovered Italicus, but I haven't been able to get it right. Would you happen to have any suggestions? (I must admit, I've only ever had bad experiences with gin, so I never thought to have that as my liquor base.)
I don't drink, but I adore watching these. When I did drink, my favorite was a Ramos gin fizz. It tastes so much like lemon sorbet. Thank you for your time and your work!
"Sounds like a hot toddy"
WTF people don't fall asleep immediately after drinking a hot toddy!?
Never.
Always.
Sometimes.
Always admired how much care Greg and the crew put into this show. Love the content!
Whoooooooo nerddddddyyy drinks!!!!
I love Greg's passion for what he does even if I can't drink I still love watching his antics and hearing him ramble about books so keep at it my guy
For liquid luck, using a heavy dark honey as the main body might have better lent to the molten gold desired effect, sweetening the entire drink while making it smooth, tangy, and pouring with a molten metal quality and luster
As for a viewer's alternative approach to the pepperup potion...
One cup of water (boiling)
One bag of black tea or Earl Gray
Juice of one whole lemon
Couple dashes of ground ginger powder (or fresh ginger root if preferred)
One to two whole shots of bourbon or spirit(s) available.(depending on the mug or potency preference)
Honey to taste
One lemon wheel to garnish... and enjoy with your favorite Harry Potter book or movie, or even party if you're that into the lifestyle.
Greg, you often make delish things, but today! Damn son! You hit all my notes. Bergemont is one of my fave flavors in the world. Honey, rum, sparkles. So nice! Great job!
I'm a practicing witch, and Rosemary actually is used in witchcraft for personal empowerment lol. Good job picking it for the felix felicis.
For potion inspiration you could also look at the board game Potion Explosion which seems to borrow theme Heavily from Harry Potter. The descriptions of the potion ingredients though are hilarious
Hypnotiq doesn't have luster. Don't ask me why I'm so familiar with Hypnotiq.
Viniq does have luster. There are (were?) several flavors/colors available.
I came here to find this Comment. You are absolutely right!
Viniq needs carbonated water or sparkling wine to keep it agitated also.
Or, a fairly heavy dose of syrup to keep it suspended longer.
Love the video, as always! Maybe next you could to the cocktails from the letterkenny “to be fair” opening?
Nothing like potions when you're stuck inside
Love your channel and I very much appreciate being able to screenshot the recipes. I rarely imbibe & have a crappy memory, but now I’ll be able to check my Cocktails Photo Album & pull up the ones that interest me. Thanks!
You need to do Animal Crossing's "Vacation Juice"! 🍹The new game just came out, so you'll get a lot of 👀👀👀 ✨
I wish I could give this a love instead of a like! Lol
My boyfriend is a bartender and LOVES your channel, he got me into it too. The king level nerd knowledge as well as creativity you bring to making drinks is so much fun. ❤️
@13:53 "NOT ECPLICITLY"
bro im so glad you went with the canon gold felix felicis
It is a bit disappointing that there's no pepper in Pepperup Potion
You could literally just pour some italicus liqueur into a cup of hot chai tea. Most kinds of chai tea have black pepper in them. Which would be consistent with the books because Britain had the British Empire and the big influences from India
I don't even drink, but I love watching these videos!!
Very informative and a wonderful introduction to what sort of flavors drinks can have
When the outbreak is over, ill be making date, dogwood and medlar liqueurs..
I need a Letterkenny inspired video so bad, both for the drink and the opportunity for spectacular character impersonations lol
the only potions i want to see are from runescape along side the drinks they serve at tree gnome village
runescape drinks please !!!!!!!!!
You should do an episode on Draught of Living Death, Polyjuice Potion and Veritaserum. Also, your plaid shirt and apron works pretty well with your tweed coat.
Over 120 likes in less than 7min. Impressive...
Shared to my Harry Potter group
Living for those showmo moment. Great editing and wonderful presentation. I love these
In the book it does say what the love potion reminds her of. After that, slughorn finds out that she’s muggle born. Trust me I know everything about the Harry Potter books.
Just found this channel and love it both creative with attention to detail but also his own twist and explaining why for each thing amazing
The Amortentia looks like a bottle of "love" alright....
TheFlerffyBurr nasty😈
Another Harry Potter episode! 😁 I loved the last ones and am so excited about the Felix felicis recipe! Lemon and cognac is my favorite combination 😊
Hell yeah, i love Hp man, but do you know what i love and want more than hp drinks? CALL OF DUTY DRINKS
Belz Please god no
you are one of my most favorite YT channels. Thanks for the content.
I have been waiting for this and this did not disappoint
These are vital for the quarantined here in the US and across the world. You should do an episode on sanity keeping, stuck at home drinks.
These were awesome! I always thought the Pepperup Potion was a peppermint tea based drink, been trying to experiment with that in mind. I never thought of a hot toddy type drink but it makes more sense considering what it is used for.
This episode is well... Magical 0.o Never go wrong with some classy HP potion cocktails.
Quarantine Fridaaaay! Made my day with this Potter themed post! Cheers
Bravo sir! Needed this today!
These are absolutely INCREDIBLE!! Fantastic work and keep on making your fantastic content!!
Always love the Harry Potter Drinks! I love all of you videos, and keep up the good work!
This Felix Felicis is basically everything I love mixed together in a drink! Will have to try it!
I watched one episode and now I can't stop watching. I can't even drink yet but I'm hooked
Yes!!! Great video, loved your content for a long time but finally Harry Potter!!!
I never thought about a tweed blazer looking good, but it sure do look good when shaking a drink.
This was great! Can't wait to try these! And i definitely vote for doing more potions in the future!
Ooh I really want to try the Felix Felicis. I love rosemary in cocktails, I made a recipe for a cocktail competition called the Ruby Rose with fresh ruby red grapefruit and a honey rosemary syrup. :)
Recipe if anyone is curious. :)
Honey Simple Syrup
1/3 c honey
1/3 c water
1/8 tsp cinnamon
3 inch long sprig rosemary
Simmer together until reduced. Store syrup in glass jar.
For drink:
2 oz fresh red grapefruit juice
2 oz vodka
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
1/4 oz honey simple syrup
1 1/4 inch sprig fresh rosemary garnish
Shaken with ice and strained into martini glass.
The edible luster was a nice touch to these. Just the thing for magical potions.
