Notes

Kiwi & Lime Juice: If you cannot find it easily, substitute it with pineapple juice.
Apple Sorbet: Can be substituted with lemon sorbet or lime sherbet.
Green Food Coloring: This is entirely optional, and the punch does turn out to be a nice green color on it's own, but if you want to go with a more bright green, simply add a few drops of green food coloring. I like to use gel food coloring, as it is more intense, and so you don't have to add a lot it to the drink.
Storing:I don't recommend storing this drink for too long, and since it takes only a few minutes to assemble, I highly suggest making it right before serving it.
Doubling the Recipe:Depending on how many people you need to serve the drink, you can double or even triple the ingredients.

Our family loves Harry Potter -- well maybe that's just me and my daughter -- but I love the idea of making a Polyjuice potion. This one definitely sounds more appetizing than the version Hermione makes.

Can this be saved for a period of time? I realize that the soda would go flat, but is it possible to save it? Or is there something I can use as a substitute for the soda?
