Severus Shake and Berry Potter

Location: Demetres at Mississauga

Price: $7 something

It's a chocolate milkshake! Named SEVERUS shake!! And other potter themed puns!!!

It's a very rich, dark flavour. The First sip revealed that fact right away, just like how professor Severus snape instantly gives off surly brilliant vibes in waves.

But there's also something in the texture - something frothy and foamy and just feels... Empty. Something missing, a sadness of sorts. Some things gone forever.

But there's also an overwhelming sweetness battling both of these things, and it's a sweetness that lingers long after those sensations, that remind you that despite all that, this is a milkshake, and this is a sweet one at that. And it stays to remind you of this all the way until the end, and then some, dark flavours notwithstanding. And somehow it works.

Some drinks induce a feeling. Regardless of its good and bad, that feeling means something. That feeling means something matters, because you’re feeling it, and that means you’re alive.

Berry Potter

This one's Sharon's and she's letting me take a sip. Apparently it's supposed to be an explosion of flavours, considering all those berries mixed in.

The elder berry is what Sharon finds to be the most prominent berry taste. The Elderberry, people. Elder!  Like the wand, guys. This drink is genius, even without being my cup of tea (juice). The first sip was kind of devoid of sweetness. It was just the berry. Kind of like how there is little after a war.
