The Drink of Despair : Emerald Potion : Potion Prop : Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

[@Xarschia]

The quinine in tonic water glows under blacklight. Instead of the glow coming from underneath, it looks like the liquid itself is glowing (because it is!).

[@jackieremis6533]

WOW!!! Once again you out did yourself. I can't wait to make the Drink of Despair. Our neighbors couldn't wait to see what new potion bottles I added to my apothecary. I give you all the credit. THANKS

[@cruisingismylife63]

I just happen to have that bottle, so excited to make this one!! Thank you as always :)

[@ldyjewell]

They make tiny ‘earring’ sized glow sticks that you could drop or hang inside to get that glow, and vary the color to get different effects-yellow versus blue versus purple or pink/red.

[@kelj7711]

I’m so glad that you made this one since I’ve always wondered what it would look like. It’s perfect! Your attention to detail is unparalleled! 💗😊💗

[@CookingandCraftChick]

Thank you 😊

[@kirbysuperstar5494]

do you think you could make the potion from Death Becomes Her?

[@isabeaublea8008]

Liquor bottles always make cool potion bottles.

Have you had corks that absorb the liquid? I've been having that issue and was wondering if you had any advice? I notice you use rubber corks a lot but I wasn't sure if there was a way to fix the corks I have. Thanks!

[@amberhughes8309]

Soak the cork in a tiny bit of oil before corking the bottle.

I'm sure glow in the dark acrylic paint would look cool in a potion bottle, I wonder if the alcohol would affect the glow.

[@CookingandCraftChick]

What tends to happen with that is the glow pigment ends up dropping to the bottom so you don’t really get a great overall glow.

[@jessknight456]

Does the paint settle like the mica powder or will it dye the alcohol and stay green?

[@CookingandCraftChick]

It dyes the alcohol green and the mica settles. So it’ll swirl up when shaken after it settles.

[@helenkeoghan320]

Hi, did you set the powder with hairspray? I would assume the powder would come off otherwise?

[@CookingandCraftChick]

I did not, since the hairspray was wet when I added the powder it locks it in. But you definitely could add another layer of hairspray. On my test trials it took a lot of scraping/washing to get the hairspray and powder off once it was added.

[@mageochagainbrochtuarach1176]

I know you said you can keep the vodka in there for a drinkable version (w/different pigment)... Could we just use the vodka instead of rubbing alcohol (without the intent to drink it)? 👀

[@CookingandCraftChick]

You should be able to 👍

[@debbienagy2674]

I know you've mentioned this in a previous video, but I can't remember which one. Why do you use rubbing alcohol instead of just water?

[@CookingandCraftChick]

Water eventually gets really gross, alcohol does not. If you’re going to use water it should be distilled water and glycerin like what you would use in a snow globe. 😊

[@debbienagy2674]

@@CookingandCraftChick Thanks😊

[@debbienagy2674]

I have been anxiously awaiting your next potion. This one is amazing!

[@CookingandCraftChick]

@@debbienagy2674 thank you 😊

[@heathertaylor8106]

Does it matter if it's 70% alcohol or can it be any percentage? I did mine at 99% and the paint was incredibly flaky.

[@CookingandCraftChick]

It shouldn’t have mattered the percentage. Your paint might have been getting old. Sometimes even when brand new from the store they’re actually decently old.

[@heathertaylor8106]

@@CookingandCraftChick guess my paint is a year old, just didn't think it would go bad that fast. Thanks for the help!
