Note – This recipe has been updated from our recipe archives with new images and content, but the recipe remains the same. First time published in February 17th, 2013.
In this delicious drink, a cream soda base is sweetened with butterscotch sauce and butter and topped with a creamy whipped topping.
The first time I tried it was in Universal Orlando. I love anything butterscotch, thanks to growing up with this School Dinner Butterscotch Tart , so this drink was right up my street!
Once I was back home, I knew I had to try to recreate the real thing again! Luckily recipes existed on MuggleNet to help me create a homemade version.
Thankfully, it is a simple recipe, the ingredient list is short and easy to find in local grocery stores!
This drink isn’t only for kids, but adults can enjoy it too! Also, the name is butter beer but there is no alcohol. Although I would caution that you can get Harry Potter intoxication!!
It is the perfect tasty drink for a Halloween party, your next Harry Potter movie marathon or other special occasions.
Ingredients
Cream soda – you can use full sugar or diet cream soda. Keep the cream soda chilled.
In the UK, most cream soda are clear in colour whereas in the states, cream soda tends to be brown. You can find Virgils in Ocado in the UK which has a similar caramel colour which is more similar to the drink served in the theme parks.
Butterscotch topping – use any syrup, sauce or ice cream topping such as toffee sauce or caramel syrup or butterscotch. You could also use brown sugar but this would take longer to dissolve.
You can make homemade Caramel Sauce as well
Use leftover sauce to make Caramel Mousse
Butter – I used unsalted butter. Some recipes use butter extract which works just as well too
Double cream aka heavy cream or whipping cream
How to make Harry Potter Butterbeer recipe
Whip double cream till soft peaks form using a wired whisk or electric mixer. I went for soft rather than stiff peaks to keep the cream easy to dollop into individual glasses.
Heat butterscotch syrup/sauce of choice and butter in a microwave proof bowl for about 15 seconds.
In serving cups add heated butterscotch and butter mixture, pour cream soda slowly on top and mix.
Spoon the whipped cream foam on top.
Serve immediately to retain the fizz and prevent the drink separating.
For carbonated butterbeer that is warm, you can add room temperature cream soda to the hot caramel & butter mixture. If served immediately, the drink will be warm.
Storage
This drink is best served immediately.
If serving at parties or get-togethers, prepare the butterbeer moments before serving it.

Homemade Chilli and Sultana Sauce,quick, easy and ready in 20 minutes with only a fewhandfuls ingredients. Make it now, you willnever buy shop one again!
Chilli sauce is a regular in our house. It’s a perfect condiment to so many different foods with all of us, such that if we ever do the unspeakable of running out of it, it’s guaranteed to make someone upset. Chilli sauce just gives whatever your eating the extra kick that it needs to taste fantastic! So really, it’s only natural that I give the recipe a go myself!
I believe that with chilli sauce, you need the correct balance of all of the ingredients: too much sugar, and it’s all syrupy; too much chilli, and suddenly it becomes overpowering. But get the ingredient proportions correct, then you’re going to have a stronger and more satisfying taste. The sultanas are perfect because they provide a natural sweetness to the sauce which could only have been achieved by adding extra sugar (thus making it more syrupy). It’s a WIN-WIN really!
