Magical Cocktails Inspired By Harry Potter

The recent Harry Potter reunion special has really been a trip down memory lane. Though I never read the books until fairly recently, I always loved the movies. Now that even people who were born in the year the first Harry Potter movie was released are old enough to drink, these spellbinding cocktails and mocktails by VonHaus have caught my eye. I’ll definitely be testing them out in the coming months.
