Butterbeer Recipe

Our recipe for Harry Potter Butterbeer tastes just like what they sell at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. A no-cook method that is SO easy!

We took a trip there last weekend and we fell in LOVE with this tasty drink. I knew I had to recreate it once I got home. It turns out it is SO easy to make! I will definitely be whipping up a batch for my next Harry Potter movie marathon. You can make this recipe two ways. If you are going for super authentic, you can add caramel and butter extracts to the cream soda. This really adds that extra butter-y flavor and makes it taste EXACTLY like the real thing.

If you are looking for a more simple recipe, you can just use plain cream soda. It still tastes SUPER yummy and you don’t have to spend the extra money on extracts only to put them in your pantry and never use them again. I think it tastes awesome both ways!

If you want to go try a Butterbeer at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studious in Hollywood or Orlando, we highly recommend you use GET AWAY TODAY. They always have the best deals on Places to Stay and Tickets. Click on the below:
