Jun
If you’re a Harry Potter fan at all, you’ve imagined the taste of butterbeer when it’s described in the book. You’ve probably imagined yourself sitting at the Three Broomsticks, drinking a warm butterbeer in the winter, a cold one in the summer, and a boozy one, well, anytime!
Butterbeer is meant to be smooth, creamy, and sort of butterscotch-like. We’ve rounded up a collection of the 20 best Harry Potter butterbeer inspired recipes, including 4 ways to make your own homemade butterbeer and 16 butterbeer flavored desserts! The only thing to do now is decide which order to try them all in!
Let’s start with all the different ways you can make butterbeer itself, first. We’ve got hot, cold, frozen, boozy and health-conscious. Take your pick! And be sure to serve them in your very own DIY Deathly Hallows etched glasses!
Cold Butterbeer
Butterbeer in the summer is a drink best served cold. Make this icy cold butterbeer from Spaceships and Laser Beans, and stick a few glasses in the freezer for a bit before filling them with the cold drink.
Hot Butterbeer
Warm butterbeer is creamy and smooth, and feels as good as it tastes. This variation on hot butterbeer was created by Ashlee Marie, and her recipe includes a quick video showing how to make it.
Frozen Butterbeer
Frozen butterbeer can probably best be compared to a slushie or Frappuccino. Icy, cold, sweet, creamy and delicious – a kid’s heavenfor sure!
Boozy Butterbeer
Just imagine – sweet marshmallow crème and Butterscotch Schnapps paired with cream soda. Hello, delicious! This Boozy Butterbeer from Fandom Fashionista is sure to be a hit.
Healthy Butterbeer Smoothie
Not only is this butterbeer smoothie from Bren Did a healthy option, it’s completely vegan as well! Perfect for celebrating and having a good time while keeping your body happy.

In our house, our 4 year old is convinced that any holiday or theme day worth it’s salt starts with themed pancakes. These Butterbeer Pancakes from Adventures of Mel are the ideal way to start any Harry Potter themed celebration. If you want to stick to the theme even more, have everyone put sprinkles in their house color on their pancakes (red/gold for Gryffindor, green/silver for Slytherin, etc).
