Happy Birthday Harry!

In honor of Harry Potter's birthday today, we have the results of Butterbeer Taste Test 2009! We created and tasted 7 recipes total, some tasty...some not so much. There were 4 categories to score each concoction on a scale from 0-10 owls: sight, smell, taste and canon (trueness to how the books/movies portrayed the drink).

Runner-up: The Chocolatey-Brown One

While scoring high marks in smell (9 owls) and taste (9 owls and a baby), it did not have an appealing sight score (3) or canon (5), due to it's cocoa nature. This drink scored the highest of all warm drinks we tasted, and a great second place finisher.

This recipe was found here.



The winner: Fizzy Temptation

This cocktail was the clear winner, with a score of 9 owls in sight, 7 in smell, 10 in taste, and 8 in canon (only because it was a cold beverage).
We would have finished the entire pitcher had we not been so sweeted-out. The recipe was found here.





More pictures and a comprehensive review of the recipes we tried will come soon!
