1. Butterbeer- Cold! ($6.99, Souvenir Mug $12.99)
This is the traditional way butterbeer is served at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Out of all the drinks, this is the sweetest way to have it. Butterscotch goodness! It is so yummy and tasty! The froth on top is my favorite part! They add the froth on top to all the drinks.
When visiting the parks, Jake loves to get 5+ butterbeers. He never seems to get enough!

2. Frozen Butterbeer ($6.99, Souvenir Mug $12.99)
If you like Icee’s you will love the texture and consistency. This is more creamy than an icee, but sooo yummy! If I had a choice between a cold butterbeer or frozen I would choose frozen! I LOVE them! The iceyness with the cream on top is such an amazing combo! It goes so well with a meal, or as a treat to drink while waiting in a ride line.
Where to Purchase Frozen Butterbeer:
- Hogsmeade: Three Broomsticks, Hog’s Head Pub, Butterbeer Street Carts
- Diagon Alley: Leaky Cauldron, The Hopping Pot
3. Hot Butterbeer ($6.99)
Personally, this is my favorite drink form of butterbeer and wished it was served year around! Even on a hot day I would go for it, because it’s that good! My mouth is just watering thinking about it! I love that this drink is served in a coffee cup with a coffee sleeve. It is so cute!
This way is how J.K. Rowling originally dreamed of the drink being served. When you order butterbeer hot, make sure to let it cool down a bit before you drink it! It really is warm! The froth on top is cold and the drink hot = amazing!
Where to Purchase Hot Butterbeer:
- Hogsmeade: Three Broom Sticks
- Diagon Alley: Leaky Cauldron
Don’t forget to enjoy the butterbeer froth stash! It adds to the fun of the drinks 🙂

Now onto the butterbeer treats!…
4. Butterbeer Potted Cream ($5.29)
Butterbeer Potted Cream is fun to grab for dessert at the restaurants. It is served chilled in a cute mason jar. Its a thick mouse consistency. It’s a nice treat to sit down and eat.
I enjoyed this dessert, but if you are on a budget, it’s one I would skip. I have friends, that this is their favorite! For me it was good, but I would rather an ice cream or the fudge.
Where to Purchase Butterbeer Potted Cream:
- Hogsmeade: Three Broomsticks
- Diagon Alley: Leaky Cauldron
5. Butterbeer Fudge ($4.21)
Butterbeer Fudge is the only way you can take Butterbeer home with you! It’s great to grab a few extras to take home to friends or family so they can enjoy some magic from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter too!
The fudge is a great consistently, nice chew to it and super tasty! This was my favorite form of butterbeer in the treat category! The flavor is not overwhelming and subtle goodness.

6. Butterbeer Soft Serve Ice-Cream ($5.49 cup, $6.49 cone, $9.99 Souvenir Glass)
Butterbeer Ice Cream was Jake’s favorite treat form! It is a super delicate soft serve vanilla ice cream base laced with butterbeer flavor. It is pretty fantastic! It was freezing out when we got it and still enjoyed it!
At Florean Fortescue’s Ice-Cream Parlor you can get the ice cream in a cup, cone or souvenir cup. I think the ice cream looks so cute in a cone! At The Hopping Pot you only have the cup option.
If you don’t mind eating ice cream early in the morning, if you head to the Ice-Cream Parlor when the park opens there is never a line!
