We are obsessed with Harry Potter. It also helps that we have the Harry Potter’s world almost in our backyard - The Universal Studios which we enjoy visiting at least twice a year. Personally I enjoy the books more than the movies. However the movies just help put things in perspective. Given our unconditional love for this magical world, it was only natural that I created some magical drinks like Amortentia this Valentine’s day! So whether you’re having a Valentine’s Day Game Night with your family, or hosting a Galentine’s Day Party or just making them to go with your Valentine’s Desserts, this drink is perfect for any occasion.
What is Amortentia?
Refer the Harry Potter book/movie - Half Blood Prince which talks about this fictional drink. It has a different aroma for everyone who smells it, reminding each person of the things that they find most attractive. The effects of the potion on a person are described to be nearly instantaneous; with the person who drank the potion appearing “pale and sickly” and becoming obsessed with the object of their affections.

Here are some more family friendly drink recipes:
Rambutan Rose Lassi Cherry Lemon Iced Tea With Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolate Fresh Guava & Watermelon Non Boozy Drink
Raspberry Rose Hot Chocolate
I chose fruits like raspberries, strawberries, cranberries and rambutan to make this love punch. Cranberries give the drink the required tang and tartness while the Rambutan and Raspberries give this drink the required sweetness. All in all, its a great fruit punch for you to try this day!

Since Amortentia drink is supposed to remind each one of something special. This drink reminds me KR’s ruggedness, has an earthy smell to it and the color attracts me towards it.
