I love Harry Potter. I’ve read all the books and seen all the movies. The creativity of the stories and the characters are wonderful! There is so much in these magical stories, but what did they eat at Hogwarts?
Some of mentions are shepherd’s pie, Molly’s meat pies, pumpkin juice, Harry’s favorite – treacle tarts, and, of course, butterbeer!
I wasn’t entirely sure how this would be, but it’s basically a butterscotch soda – and it’s delicious!! Harry can come to my house any time!
Making Harry Potter Butterbeer:
Start by making the butterscotch base. Add the brown sugar and water to a pan, and gently simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Stir in the butter, syrup, and salt and mix well. Set aside and allow to cool.
You can refrigerate it for a couple days, but bring to room temperature before using. It will be very thick!
Next, prepare whipped cream. Add all the ingredients into a bowl,
and whip with either a mixer or immersion blender.
Whip until the cream is thick with stiff peaks.
And now you’re ready to make the butterbeer –
(Check out this fun mug!)
In a 16 oz mug, mix 1/4 of the brown sugar butterscotch
with cold cream soda.
Stir until it’s well blended.
Top with whipped cream and enjoy! But I bet you won’t drink just one glass!

Oh my, I am so glad you aren’t my neighbor. I would become addicted to this treat and make a pest of myself.
LOL – What a party we could have!!
I guess I will be making this as my spouse just announced he is going to read all the Harry Potter books again. I looks delicious!
Love a good drink recipe! The glasses in the photo are so cool as well.
Thanks Harry Potter for this delight! We loved the butter beer and it was so easy to make. Thanks for sharing.
Who doesn’t like the Harry Potter movies and I always wondered how a butter beer must taste. Now I finally found a recipe to prepare it myself, and reading it, I can understand why everyone wants to drink it.
This recipe takes cream soda to a whole new level, and what a fun drink to celebrate Harry Potter! My kids are going to love this.
Wow, just knowing this was mentioned in Harry Potter I really needed to try it. I was obsessed with Harry Potter and was really excited to try it out.
Big harry potter fan here also and this butterbeer turned out amazing! Thanks so much for bringing this recipe to life!
YUM! I’m a fan of Harry Potter too.:) Can’t wait to taste this butterscotch soda. I love the simplicity of it. Thanks!
