"I love reading, writing and cooking and wanted to bring all of them together to create something fun for the blog. That's when I thought of the idea of cooking one dish from every book I read this year, style it the way I imagine it in the book and write about it," Mehrotra told BuzzFeed.

Recently, Mehrotra re-read Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince, and decided to try and recreate Felix Felicis more commonly known as Liquid Luck.

She used a pretty simple method and readily available ingredients to create an edible (booze-filled) version of the infamous potion.

Ingredients:

Dark rum – 60ml

Palm jaggery syrup – 2tsp

Orange bitters – 2-3 drops

Lime juice – ½ tsp

Cinnamon powder – a pinch

Water/Soda/Rosé wine

Method:

1. Take all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake well

2. Pour the mix in a glass and top it up with water, soda or Rose wine and gulp it down

Mehrotra told BuzzFeed: "It took a while to put the ingredients together in my head and zero in on the flavour that I wanted. I was pretty sure of using Old Monk 'cause I love it. Once I had the idea in place it wasn't difficult to make it."

There won't be any magical effects. Unless you count being drunk. Which you totally should.
