The Ultimate Guide to Finding Butterbeer at Universal Orlando

Butterbeer. What is it? Where does it come from? Does it actually contain butter? Is it made with beer? Don’t worry, friends, we’re here to answer all your questions about this Hogwarts specialty.

The recipe is supposedly a closely guarded secret, protected by some of the most powerful wizards like Gandalf and Lionel Messi, but we managed to sneak our way into the Ministry of Cooking (does such a place exist? Never mind, it does now) and came back alive to tell you everything about this delicious drink.

What is Butterbeer?

The butterbeer is a classic drink from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, now at your disposal at both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. This drink…

  • ...is non-alcoholic.
  • ...is very sweet.
  • ...comes into six different versions: cold, frozen, hot, ice cream, fudge and potted cream.
  • ...has a vegan, non-dairy version available at Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade (Islands of Adventure) and at Leaky Cauldron inside Diagon Alley (Universal Studios). This version is only available as cold and frozen butterbeer.
  • ...is actually really good! As someone from Brazil, it reminds me of a local beverage we call Guaraná, though it's much sweeter.

My favorite is the standard cold option, especially with the cream on top. It is quite sweet, but oh-so-delicious, particularly those last few drops when the cream starts to collect at the bottom of your cup. My cousins prefer the frozen version, and I have a friend who loves the fudge. Yes, Butterbeer comes in many forms!
