As an action, a creature can drink the Elixir or administer it to an Incapacitated or Grappled creature.

You can create additional experimental Elixirs by expending a spell slot of 1st level or higher for each one. When you do so, you use your action to create the Elixir in an empty flask or vial you touch, and you choose the Elixir's effect from the Experimental Elixir table.
