Cocktails? Is it happy hour? Or have Max and Miles been reading George's Marvellous Medicine and giving you glasses of oddly coloured liquids to try?

Cocktails
Harvey Wallbanger...
I thought it's an interview,
Not getting blind-drunk.

-----
Ice, citrus peel, and
Summer fruits steeped in brandy.
Mother's mood-helper.

Greg: Definitely love your first haiku.

I've been watching a lot of Disney movies lately (I'm basically 5, lol) and have had potions and spells stuck in my head ever since.

Double double toil
And trouble, and sweet and sour
To fizz and bubble

But watch just how much
You drink of this good potion
Or your mind will sink.

Greg - I wish. No, I don't even know what inspired this one.

And... that second one sounds like Dad's mood helper as well.

Ivy - hah, this sounds like my kind of Disney movie. And I'll take my chances with the quantities of the potion I consume...
