The subtle science and exact art of potion-making (that's "bartending," to Muggles) is difficult, but it can be mastered.
According to Professor Snape, a good potion can "bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses." You can "bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death," if you know what you're doing. While some of these goals are a little out of range to us Muggles, a good time is not. So here are some recipes that will get you drunk, honor the wizard within, and hopefully earn you some serious house points.

Unicorn Blood
"The blood of a unicorn will keep you alive, even if you are an inch from death, but at a terrible price. You have slain something pure and defenseless to save yourself, and you will have but a half-life, a cursed life, from the moment the blood touches your lips." — Firenze the Centaur
Bummer, huh? Luckily this cocktail won't lead to a cursed life — just a fun night.
