HAPPY HOUR

THE REGULARS
[/color] The old
favourite; not quite alcoholic enough to count, but it's still a beer so on the list it goes. A nice unusual flavor much sought after by adults and students alike.
[/li][li]FIREWHISKEY[/color]
'Ogden's Old' is the favorite brand; an equivalent to the best whiskey, I imagine, with bit more of a KICK that the Muggle stuff.
[/li][li]MEAD[/color] A beverage I [used to] enjoy in RL, mead is kind of a honey-whiskey. Very 'ye oldea worlde' since it is an almost completely multicultural drink - seriously nearly every civilization has a form of it, conceived independently of one another. Very tasty stuff. There are nearly twenty kinds on the market at this time.
[/li][li]NETTLE WINE[/color] Nettle tea,
nettle wine...and I thought nettles were bad? Unknown if this has alcohol content, but if its fermented it probably has [hopefully]. A sharp flavor which makes the tongue tingle.
[/li][li]GILLYWATER[/color]
Whether this has any relation to Gillyweed is uncertain, as is the alcohol content - I suspect it's as dull as ditchwater [snk] but may as well include it. It tastes like a light sherry.
[/li][li]SIMISON STEAMING STOUT[/color] A
lovely dark ale from the wizarding world, that may emit smoke... out of your ears as well after you drink it.
[/li][li]MCSPRATTS[/color] A
brand of sparkling spring spell water.
[/li][li]OLD OVERCOAT[/color] A rather thick alcohol which tastes very pleasant and not slightly alcohol, but flows like molasses and hits with 120% proof after about five minutes - all at once. Very cheap and easy to find, but leaves your tongue feeling like it's coated with something thick for nearly ten minutes after drinking.
[/li][li]ICE WINE[/color] From Finland. Stout wines are made, fast frozen, and then what doesn't freeze is scraped off and that's the ice wine. Magically preserved with a bit of the original ice it's served much like a daiquiri over ice. Heavy tasting with a distinct chill to the blood, it's favored by those looking for unusual effects.
[/li][/ul]
DRINKS[/color] My wizarding equivalent to vodka - without the disgusting taste. Doesn't have a taste, in fact, which is why it's so easy to get drunk on; you mix it wit other drinks without blurring the taste and it gets you twice as drunk. Comes with hints of flavor like apple, banana, peach, snozzcumber, strawberry, raspberry etc.
[/li][li]ADDERFANG[/color] One of my favorite creations; very sought after and expensive liquor, which is colored a rather viscous shade of lime green, which glows red in the dark. Tastes vaguely of aniseed but all in all not very nice - the attraction comes in the immense alcohol content and the perceived danger. Like Fugu, Adderfang boasts that, if not prepared correctly, it may be fatal to the consumer - a trait based on the inclusion of distilled Basilisk venom in the drink. Unlike Fugu, this is completely false. The only magical ingredient in the drink is the distilled pus from a
Clabbert's forehead boil, which gives the liquid it's glow.
[/li][li]FERRICO[/color] Parallel to Tequila, this spirit is a sharp tasting, amber colored liquid - at the bottom of each bottle is curled up and, hopefully by this point, deceased fairy. This is supposed to indicate the strength of the drink - however, due to lobbying by beast & being protection agencies, this is now usually a plastic or clever imitation fairy. There are also several copycat alcohols that use the same gimmick, replacing the fairy with Flobberworms or Doxies.
[/li][li]ROTGUT[/color] Equivalent to rum; has the texture of syrup, which means that to mix it with anything or even comfortably drink it, it has to be warmed up. Which is lucky because it tastes a lot better warm - very good to have on a cold day, as long as you don't want to be able to walk very far afterward.
[/li][li]SCUMBLE[/color] Not really mine, seeing as I just imported it from another literary verse, but I think every verse should have
scumble. Made from apples...well,
mainly apples, also know as
suicider. Drunk in thimblefuls, is strong enough to be used for cleaning sp**ns, and should not be put in a metal container or allowed to come into contact with water. (C) Terry Pratchett.
[/li][li]LEPRECHAUN'S GOLD[/color] Based on
Goldschläger, this schnapps is a pale green colors with tiny flakes of gold leaf floating in it; a charm keeps the flakes swirling round even when the container is still. According to the label, one in every hundred bottles has a few drops of Felix Felicitus in it - this is true, though it is more like one is five thousand.
[/li][li]MERLIN'S MEDICINAL[/color] Not sure entirely what this is - just a funny name for alcohol. I always remember comedies having people ending up drinking stuff out of the medicine cabinet, and I guess it just stuck. Only description we ever came up with was 'Strong enough to put wood in your wand' which, I think, says it all.
[/li][li]DWARVEN WHISKEY[/color] While not made by dwarves or with any dwarvish connection besides marketing, but it hits like the old fabled Dwarves did. While hard to find being a small amount made each year and not a heavy demand. It's a very solid hitting whiskey from Scotland highlands where the recipe is kept a very closely guarded secret. Consider it a high-potent whiskey to the fifth power; People with heavy constitutions can only drink two before being serious drunk.
[/li][li]DARK LIQUOR[/color] A midnight-black liquor from France with a candied flavor used often in chocolates from very expensive chocolatiers and hardly found on shelves or in pantries. Always delivered in sealed containers of ebonized boxes with a key. Silver clasps and a dark glass bottle, this stuff is considered to be the creme ala creme of fancy elitist drinks. Served in small tiny glasses, it's more a drink to be seen drinking (cause you can afford to) then for it's unusual flavor or alcoholic punch (which is minimal).
[/li][li]SCOTTISH BRANDY[/color] A surprising twist from the House of Gordon, this particular brandy has a very smooth flavor and rich coloring, being a favorite drink for displays and coloring in the glass. The tastes has a 'buttery-flavor' in dishes it's prepared with so it is popular with cooks as well. Unfortunately, it's only made by one clan and only a few families inside that so it's highly expensive and hard to get.

C*CKTAILS[/color] Kind of like a sex on the beach c*cktail, only it glows and occasionally gives off sparks like a sparkler. Comes in as many colors as you can think of, and the spark's color vary with the combination.
[/li][li]SPECTRAL[/color] Served in a tall glass and striped with ever color of the spectrum; drink you way down and taste a different fruit with every color - willy wonka inspired obviously!
[/li][li]SCREAMING BANSHEE[/color] Livid bruise-purple with the occasional white swirl appearing in the liquid, this c*cktail is enhanced with the sonorus charm - very good for karaoke bars, but not a crowd favorite.
[/li][li]STYX STICK[/color] Possibly my favorite c*cktail; inky black liquid served in a
yard, you have to drink it all in one go. Once your lips touch the liquid, it starts to cool and if not drunk quickly, freezes - nothing is more embarrassing than getting your lips frozen to the glass, and having to get the bartender to thaw it out!
[/li][li]BROKEN WAND[/color] Equivalent of a Muggle 'Rusty Nail', this simple c*cktail contains Firewhiskey and Drambuie - served without ice, it is a 'Straight Wand'.
[/li][li]OPUS[/color] Classy c*cktail that looks like milk with swirls of dark and light blue; chimes a different sweet note with every sip, and tastes stronger as the colors mix.
[/li][li]RADIATE[/color] The same kind of c*cktail as the Whizzbang, on a lower scale - putting Butterbeer in the mix means that this pale glowing drink is perfect for winters day. Looks and tastes like Baileys, though not as thick, and glows like a lantern while warming you up from the inside.
[/li][/ul]
DRUGS[/color] made from ingredients like laurel leaves, augurey feathers, crushed opals, Mallowsweet and others; made into a pill form. Supposedly grants prophetic powers for a time - some have seen the future whilst under it's influence, but it is thought that t just unlocked their latent powers. Normal people just have a good old trip out.
[/li][li]HORNET[/color] Made from crushed Erumpent horn and other herbal ingredients; smoked in pipe usually. Very dangerous due to combustible properties, but highly sought after hallucinogen.
[/li][li]S-DEEP[/color] Liquid that when consumed shuts down all sensory input - we didn't really look so far into this one tbh. It was just a cool idea, since we'd all tried sensory dep tank in Germany that year XD

This is a list made by the combined efforts of my friend Andy and myself. Please respect our rights to our own work. 
Andy: "So yeah - I was thinking about the old list of wizarding drinks and drugs that my mates and I came up with when we were in high school, and I figured that I'd put it up for sh!ts and giggles. Then I started to come up with more and it just turned into this random list on my desktop XD and then I went on the HP Wiki and it just escalated.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas for drinks or drugs to put up here, by all means add them on - but this was just to get the idea out of my poor brain tbh."
ENJOY!
