potion

Cauldron's drinkable output

A potion is a liquid mixture intended to have some special effect when drunk—magical, medicinal, or poisonous.

The word carries strong associations with fantasy and folklore: love potions, sleeping potions, the witch's potion.

In modern use, potion often appears playfully for any concoction: What's in this potion you're drinking?
