Easy Harry Potter Butterbeer Recipe
Harry Potter Fans will love this Easy Butterbeer Recipe!
We have drank our fair share of butterbeer at Universal Orlando and I’m excited to share a homemade Butterbeer recipe so you can drink it anytime of the year!
Our wands are packed because we’re headed to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter tonight. We can’t wait for the magic to begin!
We love Universal Orlando so much that we live in Texas and have annual passes. We can already smell the Butterbeer and often just go to the park just to get this tasty drink. I know, call us crazy!
If you can’t make it to the park, Homemade Harry Potter Butterbeer is very easy to make with this simple Wizarding World of Harry Potter copycat Butterbeer recipe.
What does Harry Potter Butterbeer taste like?
The Butterbeer you get at Universal Orlando is a very sweet cream soda and butterscotch tasting drink. It comes in a frozen version or regular topped with a tasty sweet foam.
I personally like the regular Butterbeer the best, because it’s not as sweet to me. Since my kids love anything super sweet, they like the frozen version best. So the frozen butterbeer what we’ll be making today!
I can’t make it exactly like they do at Universal Orlando, but sure came close!

I’m with you on the regular butterbeer- do you have a copy cat recipe for that version (NOT the frozen)?

No, sorry I don’t, but I definitely need to work on a recipe for regular Butterbeer. It’s my favorite.
