How To Drink

Lobe Blaster from Fantastic Beasts (5x30)

:

On this episode of How to Drink, I am gearing up for this week's release of "The Crimes of Grindelwald", so I made a Lobe Blaster from Fantastic Beasts! A big part of this drink is in its presentation, the cocktail will change colors from blue to red in the glass, appropriate for a "magic" cocktail. I like to serve it with a small bottle of the lemon juice on the side, so the guest can drop in the potion and watch the colors change. The secret to this neat trick is in my "blue gin", which is made by steeping dried Butterfly Pea Blossoms in gin. The flowers quickly lend their pigment to the gin without affecting it's flavor. The neat thing about this color is that it's a natural PH indicator, so when we increase the acidity it will shift colors to red. Magic! Or maybe just chemistry. At any rate it's a tasty and easy to drink cocktail your fellow wizards are sure to love.
