The Ron Weasley Mocktail | November Harvest Fizz

Welcome to the Wizarding World of Mocktails!

This holiday season, because Harry Potter is universally perfect for October, November, and December, I decided to try my hand at a Harry Potter mocktail series. I love Harry Potter. I love mocktails. The decision was a no-brainer.

So, are you ready to embark on a magic-inspired journey through mocktail mixology? Because I have the menu planned, and let me tell you, it only gets better and better.

Every week until the new year, I will be crafting and sharing a mocktail inspired by (my personal) favorite characters of the Harry Potter universe. Even if Harry Potter isn’t your thing, the drinks in this series transcend the boundaries of fandom.

So, whether you’re a seasoned potion master or a casual mocktail enthusiast, I hope you give each a try.

First on our list is The Ron Weasley Mocktail.

I designed each drink to encompass the person (or thing), infusing flavors and elements representing such. Ron is warm. He is somewhat reserved but always courageous when it matters. I wanted to fulfill these attributes with flavor.

Warmth – that’s the big one here. I played around with how I wanted to represent it. And I came up with this: a drink doesn’t have to be physically warm to be warm. Combining spices from the cinnamon and orange, the rich, buttery flavor of macadamia, and the pop from the fizzy sparkling tea ignite the essence of warmth. That’s what I wanted most of all.

As you raise your glass, I hope you feel the richness of the Ron Weasley mocktail, and it sparks a little magic in you. It’s the perfect November and December drink, so cheers to the seasons.
