Love Potion Recipe required

[amandaandherveg]

My neighbour is a member of the local WRI. For the next meeting the competition is a 'Love Potion'.

Any suggestions or ideas/recipes on what she can enter (it's supposed to be a drink).

I have some Elderflower Champagne left over from last year but it's so strong it would be more likely to knock them out than get them in the mood.

The local Bobby is judging.

Use the elderflower chanpagne to make a variant on 'bucks fizz'. The most exotic 'fruitjuice' you can find, plus elderflower chanpagne, should make a wonderful potion! (when in Spain I sometimes drink a concoction of peach juice and Cava, pity you can't get peach juice around here)

Like the sound of that Hilary. I'm sure I've seen peach juice/nectar in some of the supermarkets. It might be nice with mango juice?

I'll ask her to pop over and we can try some of the fruit juice/elderflower champagne concoctions. I'll let you know what tastes best.

You can sometimes find peach 'nectar', but that includes some sugar. In the supermarkets in Spain we get peach-and-grape juice (or sometimes peach-and-apple, depending on the 'make'). On the other hand, you don't see grapefruit juice....

Mead has long been considered an aphrodisiac. It would be given to a newly married couple. Hence the term Honeymoon.

Lots of good ideas here, thank you. Hmmm... I feel a tasting session is called for.

How's about this then.......
