Top Tips and recipe FAQs
Since this drink has lemon lime soda as one of it's ingredients, I do not recommend this recipe be made in advance or stored for long. It's an easy recipe and only takes 5 minutes, so only make it right before serving it.
I know this drink has a lot of sugar, given all the ingredients. One tip is to use sugar free soda so you can cut down on sugar a little bit.

very interesting drink I have no clue who Harry Potter is but this juice sure sounds delicious. I guess I better get onto Netflix and find out!
That really sounds quite delicious! My kids and I were huge Harry Potter fans! This would have been so fun to do when my kids were little!
I can't wait to make this for my nephew who is obsessed with Harry Potter. Such a cute idea!
Our family loves Harry Potter -- well maybe that's just me and my daughter -- but I love the idea of making a Polyjuice potion. This one definitely sounds more appetizing than the version Hermione makes.
I love the look and sound of this potion. A really great idea for halloween!
Hi, thank you for this wonderful receipe! As I couldn't find kiwijuice, I bought a green smoothie with cucmber and something else. Worked best! For the extra pinch of magic, I added half a spoon of rhubarb preserve. Glad nobody grew elephant ears!
So glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Can this be saved for a period of time? I realize that the soda would go flat, but is it possible to save it? Or is there something I can use as a substitute for the soda?
How good they look. Both color and taste seem great. Thanks for sharing great recipes for me. I will have more good things to make for my kids.
Thanks Anne...hope you like them! 🙂
This is perfect. I am literally halfway through planning a Christmas party that is Harry Potter themed! ?
Oh wow that sounds fun...hope you make and enjoy this potion! 🙂
