From the 3rd Cookbook: Giggle Water

From the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 

With Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindewald is coming out this week, I thought I'd share with you guys a little peak at the newest Geeky Chef cookbook, which is actually a cocktail book, The Geeky Chef Drinks. Fantastic Beasts is a prequel to the Harry Potter books and films but it is only loosely connected to the events of the original series. It takes place in the 1920s, as magical animal rights activist Newt Scamander visits the United States to return a magical creature to its natural habitat. This drink appeared in the speakeasy scene, when Queenie orders it at the bar. “Giggle water” is actually an old-timey American term for Champagne, but you don’t need to be a Legilimens to know this stuff ain’t just Champagne! Using thoroughly American ingredients like bourbon and apple cider, this delicious shooter is as American as apple pie (kinda tastes like it, too) and will (probably) make you burst out laughing.

3 fl oz (90 ml) Bourbon
1 fl oz (30 ml) Butterscotch Schnapps
2 fl oz (60 ml) Spiced Apple Cider (non alcoholic)
