Background:
I was unsatisfied by the other recipes I found for polyjuice potion cocktails. I came up with this cocktail by looking at several different recipes for polyjuice potions and other cocktails, then synthesized the parts that I liked into one drink. I’m rather happy with how this one turned out – it tastes good and certainly looks like a polyjuice potion!
