Professor Snape

(Recipe Below)

Professor Snape is inspired by the stern, dark and hardened Professor Snape. Like Professor Snape, we use a deep and robust Cognac along with Sfumato Amaro and a Bitter Coffee Liqueur leaving you uncertain where the bitterness is coming from, while bringing in deep flavors of fruit, cocoa, and a slight smokiness. Pomegranate Juice is used to freshen the flavors ever so slightly and saline is used to balance the bitterness out and bring forward the dried fruit flavors of the Cognac. Serve as cold as Professor Snape is in a chilled coupe with a square of 70% Cacao Chocolate which softens the bitterness and helps sustain the flavors of the cocktail when pairing with the cocktail.

1.5 oz Cognac

1.5 oz Sfumato Amaro

.25 oz St George's Coffee Liqueur

Remy Martin Cognac

80 proof/ 40% ABV
Remy Martin Company
Very Superior Old Pale, meaning it must be aged for a minimum of 4 years. Remy Martin Cognac is made by fermenting then distilling Petite Champagne and Grande Champagne grapes in separate batches aged for 4-12 years with blending happening just before the final year of the aging process. The resulting flavor is deep and rich reminiscent of a handful of gut-health dried fruit trail mix.
Sfumato Rubarbaro Amaro

40 proof/20% ABV
Cappelletti
"Rubarbaro", meaning, rhubarb, and "fumo" meaning smoke. This can be characterized almost as Mezcal's bitter cousin. Smoky, woodsy, and berry notes much like mezcal, but far more bitter and deeper and the smokiness is more round, vegetal and savory than the biting, citrus smoke of Mezcal. Much like Mezcal, delicious with tropical fruits and citrus.
St. George's NOLA Coffee Liqueur

50 proof/25% ABV
St. George Spirit Inc.
A neutral-flavored spirit is infused with Ethiopean coffee beans in a cold brew method. It is then blended with Madagascar vanilla, spices, chickory, and lightly sweetened. The result is a deeply flavored NOLA coffee liqueur with notes of blueberry and spice with a light bite and sweetness.
Pomegranate Juice

4-5% acidity
Bottled pomegranate juice is widely available in supermarkets. The acidity in bottled products will be significantly lower than in fresh-pressed juices. Pomegranate tases citrusy with a neutrality in its sweetness and acidity (as acidic as a lemon, but as sweet as apple juice. This make pomegranate a nice mixer where you want a citrus like flavor without increasing acidity or sweetness.

Hogwarts in a Glass: Smoky Hagrid Warmth, Snape’s Bitter Elegance, and the Magic of Growing Up

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone introduces a world where destiny arrives not with ceremony, but with a half-giant crashing through a seaside shack, as Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry Potter is pulled from a life of cupboard-sized misery into a hidden universe of spells, scars, and stories that refuse to stay buried. Between the stern walls of Privet Drive and the gothic sprawl of Hogwarts, he finds unlikely kinship in Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, mentors in Albus Dumbledore and Hagrid, and adversaries in the sharp edges of Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy, all orbiting a boy who never asked to be mythologized but somehow can’t escape it. The drinks inspired by this first chapter lean into that duality, beginning with “Hagrid,” a smoky, forest-born blend of bourbon, mezcal, pineapple, lime, and cinnamon syrup, built like a warm cabin fire in a glass surrounded by wild, untamed air. Its darker counterpart, “Snape,” trades warmth for restraint, pouring cognac, Sfumato amaro, coffee liqueur, pomegranate, and cacao into something cold, bitter, and meticulously controlled — the kind of drink that never reveals more than it intends. Like the film itself, these cocktails understand that magic rarely arrives cleanly, and growing up is often just learning how to hold both comfort and cruelty in the same hand without letting either spill.
