Harry Potter Butterbeer Recipe

So grab a comfy chair in the Gryffindor common room, get your house elf to pour you a foaming tankard of butterbeer, and enjoy!

By far one of the highlights of our adventures at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was indulging in the magical beverage known as Butterbeer. The sweet, slightly fizzy treat was refreshing and admittedly quite addicting. A frozen mug of Butterbeer was just what we needed to get through a hot Hogsmeade (Orlando) afternoon. This recipe tastes identical to the mythical treat and is easy to make with or without the help of your favorite house elf.
