Ro: Hey guys, it’s Ro! Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
Ro: Today I have a very special guest, Mamrie! Mamrie: Hello!
Ro: She has an awesome channel, I’ll put links down below so you
Ro: can go check it out. And, this is a fun fact, we’re both authors!
Ro: Well she’s an author first, now I’m joining the club.
Mamrie: Welcome! Ro: She’s got this really cool book, I’ll put links down
Ro: below so you can go check it out too. It’s so cool!
Ro: I got so many requests from you guys to make something Harry Potter themed.
Ro: And, she knows how to make a good drink.
Mamrie: I know my way around a bar.
Ro: That’s right! So today we are gonna make a themed Harry Potter potion drink.
Ro: We are gonna be making something that will hopefully give us some good luck.
Ro: We are gonna be making Felix Felicis, which is liquid luck.
Mamrie: Love it! Ro: Yeah! Ro: Are you ready? Mamrie: Yes!
Both: Let’s get started!
Ro: Alright, before we get started, Mamrie, I got you this little
Ro: Gryffindor scarf. Mamrie: That is so thoughtful! Ro: To get in the mood!
Mamrie: What a perfect gift for August in Los Angeles!
Ro: We’re gonna be making 2 different versions of this drink.
Ro: The first will be a spirited version, and the second will be a non-alcoholic,
Ro: so, you can take your pick.
Ro: The things you will need, for the non-alcoholic version will be:
Ro: Lemonade, you can use whatever you’d like, white grape juice,
Ro: a juicer and we’ll both be using fresh lemons, and some golden sanding sugar.
Mamrie: And for the more spirited version, you’re gonna need a bunch of ice,
Mamrie: Simple Syrup, Triple Sec, Vodka, and then a jigger and a shaker!
Ro: Nee-nee-nee! Now let’s put it all together!
Ro: The first thing that we’re gonna do is juice some lemons, so you’re gonna
Ro: take a fresh little lemon over here. Mamrie: Cool.
Ro: We’ve got our cutting boards, sharp knives, don’t cut off your fingers,
Ro: be careful. Mamrie: Good to know. Ro: Cut ‘em in half.
Ro: Oh we only have one juicer. Mamrie: I guess we’ll have to learn how to share!
Ro: OK, rock, paper, scissors, who goes first? Mamrie: OK.
Both: Rock, paper, scissors, shoot! Mamrie: Mmmmmm!
Ro: I go first! Oh my gosh this is so exciting! I never win challenges!
Mamrie: You can juice them all if you want to, I’ll supervise!
Ro: Wait a minute, then am I really the winner?
Mamrie: OK, so now that our lemons are juiced. Ro: Mmmhmmm.
Mamrie: We are going to rim our glasses in the gold sanding sugar?
Mamrie: Did I get that right? Ro: Mmmhmm, that’s right!
Mamrie: So, what we do is we take some of our simple syrup, and this will kind
Mamrie: of act as the glue, so that the sanding sugar can stick. Ro: So cool!
Mamrie: So, two easy steps, we get it a little wet, and then, into the sanding sugar!
Ro: Whoa! That’s so pretty! Mamrie: Gorgeous! Ro: I love it!
Ro: And you’re gonna do this to all of your glasses.
Ro: Now that our glasses look all fancy, we are going to be making the non-alcoholic
Ro: version first. So you’re gonna take your lemonade and you’re gonna need
Ro: 2 ounces of lemonade for each drink, then we will need one ounce per drink
Ro: of the grape juice.
Mamrie: Last but not least we have our fresh lemon juice, and you’re gonna need
Mamrie: a half ounce per drink, so I’m gonna put in an ounce for the two.
Mamrie: Did you ever do a lemonade stand? Ro: My sister and I had one really
Ro: briefly, and then we upgraded to a car wash.
Mamrie: Entrepreneur!
Mamrie: Last, I’m gonna add a couple ice cubes to the shaker.
Mamrie: This will make it nice and cold, so then you can have a cold drink without
Mamrie: having ice. Ro: I love it.
Mamrie: Because sometimes I like a cold drink and I don’t like the ice
Mamrie: to hit my teeth. Ro: Mmmhmmm, mmmhmm. Mamrie: I got sensitive teeth!
Mamrie: Shake it up. Ro: Yeah. Mamrie: You want to do the honors?
Ro: No let me watch you do it first, I’ll do the second one.
Mamrie: Get ready! Ro: OK.
Ro: This is fun! Mamrie: Yeah! Ro: I’m practicing.
Mamrie: We do this instead of aerobics! Ro: I like that.
Mamrie: Just gotta pour it in without it hitting our beautiful dust.
Mamrie: Boom! Look at that! Ro: That is beautiful!
Ro: Oh! Cheers to good luck! Mamrie: Cheers!
Ro: Mmmmmmm! Mamrie: Oh that’s so good! Ro: I like that lemon.
Mamrie: I love it with the grape juice! So it’s not too, too, too tart!
Mamrie: So you don’t walk around with this crazy face!
Mamrie: Mmmhmm. That’s good!
Ro: That looks like another character from Harry Potter, guess who in the comments
Ro: below. Mamrie: I don’t know… I didn’t, I didn’t read it.
Ro: If you put it on like this… Mamrie: Mmmhmm! Ro: Do I look like Kesha?
Mamrie: I want some of that action!
Ro: Do we look like Kesha? Mamrie: Do we look like models?
Ro: Our first drink was super yummy and now we are onto our second drink, the
Ro: more spirited version! Mamrie: Mmmhmm, it’s essentially a lemon drop,
Mamrie: because we wanted it to have that light yellow color, like the potion
Mamrie: does in the movie. Ro: Mmmhmm!
Mamrie: The first thing that we’re gonna use is the vodka, and it’s 1-1/2
Mamrie: ounce per drink, so since we’re making two drinks, we’ll put in 3 ounces.
Ro: I love learning this, so what are we gonna do next?
Ro: What’s the next ingredient. Mamrie: What a fun way to put me to work!
Mamrie: We’re gonna add a half a ounce of triple sec to each drink, so one ounce
Mamrie: for the two. Ro: OK.
Mamrie: That made like a comedic glug-glug-glug noise!
Ro: Glug-glug-glug-glug-glug-glug-glug-glug!
Mamrie: And then the other two ingredients are also a half ounce each.
Ro: Oh, can I shake it this time? Mamrie: Please! I’m exhausted!
Ro: Will you teach me your shake ways? Mamrie: Yeah! Ro: OK!
Mamrie: Here… Is the real deal. Ro: Alright, so how do you?
Mamrie: Put your hand on top so it doesn’t spew everywhere.
Mamrie: And then you kind of do like, a-shake-it-up, a-shake-it-down!
Mamrie: Shake-it-up, a-shake-it-down! Shake-it-up, a-shake-it-down!
Ro: Shake it? Mamrie: Yeah!
Both: Shake-it-up, a-shake-it-down! Shake-it-up, a-shake-it-down! Shake it!
Mamrie: Uh-huh! Yeah! Faster now! Faster now!
Ro: How fast do you go? Mamrie: As fast as you want.
Mamrie: So right in the middle, not too fast. Ro: Be really careful, right? OK.
Ro: Oh, uh!
Mamrie: This is lucky huh? Ro: Yeah! This one’s gonna be very lucky, because
Ro: it’s got a little spirit in her. Are you ready for good luck?
Mamrie: I’m ready let’s go to vegas!
Ro: Mmmmm! Mamrie: Yes ma’am! Yes, ma’am!
Ro: Simple, delicious, good luck, right on!
Both: Ta-da!
