These Harry Potter Butterbeer Flavored Recipes will please even the most discerning Witches and Wizards in your life!

If you and your family love Harry Potter, then you’re in the right place!

The great part about Harry Potter is that it’s the perfect theme for birthday parties, Halloween, Christmas, or any time with a Harry Potter movie night! 

One of the most popular foods from the books is sweet and creamy Butterbeer.

In the books, Butterbeer is sold in places like The Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley and in Hogmeade at The Three Broomsticks and The Hog’s Head and is served in chilled bottles or warm, foaming tankards at pubs, but the drink itself is never actually described.

J.K. Rowling says she imagined Butterbeer as having a butterscotch flavor.

This iteration is what you’ll find at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando’s “Islands of Adventure” theme park where Butterbeer tastes like a mixture of cream soda and butterscotch flavor with a sweet whipped topping.

The drink originally came in two versions, cold and frozen, but Universal now also offers a warm beverage known as “Butterbeer Hot” along with Butterbeer ice cream and Butterbeer fudge.

This drink is so popular it’s inspired countless copycat recipes and Butterbeer flavored treats, the best of which I’ve featured below.

These Harry Potter Butterbeer Flavored Recipes will please even the most discerning Witches and Wizards in your life!
