Molly Weasley’s Cinnamon Sunset Cocktail

This Cinnamon Sunset Cocktail recipe was developed in conjunction with the Happy Harry Potter series at Rae Gun Ramblings.  Yay! #happyharrypotter

I know most Harry Potter fans are all “GO HARRY!” Or Hermoine, or Ron, or one of the other main characters. But I’m sitting here hardcore rooting for Molly Weasley.  My patronus is Molly Weasley. That fantastic woman raised seven (SEVEN) rambunctious kids into successful adults.  On a budget. The woman is my hero.

As a mom of five, I picture Molly hustling and bustling to get through the day and just watching the clock for bedtime when she can snuggle onto the threadbare couch with a good book, a sweet snack, and strong cocktail.  This drink is inspired by the Tequila Sunrise, but if I know anything about a busy mom, it’s that she’s enjoying her poison at night when the house is finally quiet – thus the name Cinnamon Sunset Cocktail.

The colors and flavors in this cocktail represent the Molly Weasley I know in my mind quite well. Orange juice because firstly she’s sweet (tempered though by tart citrus – she’s sweet, but she’s not sugary), as well as the signature Weasley color. Cinnamon candy for the unceasing fire burning in her soul and spilling out in the way she loves and moms everyone so fiercely.  Finally, tequila and grand marnier because, well, Molly’s got a kick.

I like to think Molly and I would be pals.  I mean, I realize I’m a muggle – but I think she’d be open to it. Any mom of 5 or more that makes it through the day must have at least a *little* magic in them. Amiright?  (Just tell me I’m right). Hopefully she wouldn’t mind that I’m pretty sure I’m a Hufflepuff. P.S. Sorting Hat – I’d love to be a Gryffindor!  You know.  That is, if wrangling 5 kids all day qualifies me as having magical powers.
