How To Make Butterbeer from Harry Potter at Home for Muggles ... and Squibs (non-alcoholic)

Butterbeer is a delicious butterscotch drink popular among witches and wizards in the Harry Potter universe of J. K. Rowling. Muggles around the world can enjoy the magical beverage while visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at the Universal Orlando resort. Living in Orlando and being an annual passholder, I am proud to say that I have enjoyed the hallowed Butterbeer at the WWoHP in all three of it's renditions; cold, frozen and the recently introduced hot Butterbeer on numerous occasions. The cold version is my personal favorite of the 3 concoctions. Having tried the WWoHP Butterbeer many times and after many failed attempts trying recipes after scouring the internet, I believe I have finally brewed an acceptable draught of living dea....I mean Butterbear. I daresay a few sips will satisfy you all.

So first, we need our ingredients.
Butterbeer Ingredients

  • Smucker's Butterscotch Topping (by ice cream toppings in the supermarket or buy it here on Amazon)
  • Heavy Whipping Cream (I prefer the can over the carton) 
  • Imitation Vanilla, Butter, Nut Extract (Butterscotch basically, buy this at your local grocery store)
  • Cream Soda (Spend the extra money on A&W or one of the old timey glass bottle cream sodas for best results)
  • Bowl
  • Spoon
  • Ministry of Magic mug (or whatever lame mug you probably have instead)
