No Harry Potter party would be complete without a Polyjuice Potion Cocktail recipe! I am sorry to say that you will not turn into a different person by drinking my version, unless of course you drink too much, but that would just be silly. You know what they always say…..everything in moderation!

Doesn’t’ that look like fun? I have been searching for lime sherbet for several years now and cannot find it anywhere! So I decided to give rainbow sherbet a try and see what would happen. At worst, the color would be a disgusting combination of colors, right? Well the actual Polyjuice Potion recipe contains batwings, and eye of newt so that would look pretty disgusting as well.

Below is the original image that is plastered all over pinterest! I would hate for you to think you arrived at the wrong recipe. Same recipe, new images.

Recipe Notes & Tips

  • When the party is over, pour the remaining punch down the drain…..it will not keep in the refrigerator!

    I love this so much. Even though I am sorry to admit that I don’t like lime sherbet I have to say I would try it. If only to see if it would change me into you. haha

    Well this just sounds delicious! Too bad it can’t hold onto that ominous look…..but I’m sure it doesn’t last long anyway!

      The ominous look lasts long enough for the party, so I guess that’s a good thing! 🙂

      Oughto, that sounds like a fun story, lol. 🙂 Vodka puts me to sleep, rum makes me silly. You would think that it wouldn’t make a difference which type of alcohol, but it does!!

    My daughter and her friends love Harry Potter…last Halloween they watched Harry Potter movies all night. Next time I just may make this for them, without the alcohol of course!

    im thinking of using this recipe for my daughters 11th birthday (minus the vodka of course) which is harry potter themed and im wondering if because of the froth on top will it keep in a punch fountain?

      Hmm, I have never used a punch fountain, Jaimie. Once the sherbet melts or gets stirred into the punch it is no longer frothy, but the bubbles “might” help to prolong it a bit. They will be having so much fun I doubt they will notice how frothy it is. 😉 Let me know how it works or not, now I am curious.
