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 copycat Harry Potter Wizarding World Butterbeer recipe so you can drink it at home anytime of the year!
Our wands are packed, because we’re headed to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We can’t wait for the magic to begin!
My family loves 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 theme 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?
If you’ve never had Butterbeer and wondering what it tastes like, I will try to describe it for you. It’s not actual beer, but a dessert drink similar to a milkshake.
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!

Who knows? Butter beer was translated as Beer shake in Bulgarian, so I imagine milk shake with beer included in it. What a waste of beer!

Ukraine is currently at war and thousands of innocent people are dying, who simply lived in their own country and did their usual things. Russia has declared war on Ukraine and is killing civilians. To read true information or help Ukraine go to the site

The one that doesn’t include freezing would be great, thank you! I have searched far and low for a recipe that even comes close to Universal’s butterbeer, which I adore.
Fantastic blog. Reading your articles was enjoyable. For me, this was a really enjoyable book. I have it bookmarked and am eager to read more things from it. Continue your wonderful effort!
This is such a great recipe. Can’t wait to make it again!
I am going to have to share this with my son as he loves Harry Potter! Sounds absolutely delicious!
Everything pondered central chart. I love this site. Much appreciated!
I love butterbeer because I can handmade it. I can save the time to make it. Its taste is original. You also should try making it. Follow the recipe, it is so easy to do it.
This is by far the best butter beer recipe I’ve ever had. I didn’t like butter beer before making this recipe for my son. We didnt try it with frozen cream soda, but it was still amazing. Will try it with frozen next time. Because there will be a next time!
A great idea for a theme party for students I think! However, sometimes there is no time for parties. I know this as a 3rd year college student. However, there are no desperate situations and that’s why I use [Link deleted]a service that helps me with my studies, to free up time. Maybe you can find a couple of hours for a party, too, if you can stop thinking about your homework.
Yay! I’m happy to hear that, Rachel.
Oh this does look super fun and great for summer!
The best butterbeer recipe. Love the cream soda ice cube trick!!
My kids love Harry Potter, but I never thought about making butter beer until I saw your recipe. They LOVED it!!! We’re now planning a HP themed bday party!!!

No, sorry I don’t, but I definitely need to work on a recipe for regular Butterbeer. It’s my favorite.
I’m with you on the regular butterbeer- do you have a copy cat recipe for that version (NOT the frozen)?
hi, I want to make this but was wondering about other copycat recipes for this that use butterscotch ice cream instead. doesn’t universal use vanilla from what I remember?
Yay! Glad you liked it Rachel. Thanks!
Just made this and it’s SO good!
Yay! Glad you liked it.
