If you are a Harry Potter fan or even if you know nothing about Harry Potter, you have to try the butterbeer at Universal Orlando! It is the one treat that I have to get every time I visit the Universal parks. When you think of butterbeer, you probably think of the creamy, cold, butterscotch flavored drink, but there are 6 different kinds you can experience in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Yes, that’s right, there is more than one way to satisfy your butterbeer craving! Here’s what you need to add to your snack wishlist and where you can find them.
Cold Butterbeer
This cold, fizzy drink tastes like butterscotch and cream soda and is topped with whipped cream.
Where can I find it?
- Diagon Alley – Leaky Cauldron, The Hopping Pot
- Hogsmeade – Three Broomsticks, Hog’s Head Pub, Butterbeer carts
Price: $7.99
Served in a regular cup or a souvenir mug for an additional cost.
Frozen Butterbeer
This frozen, slushy drink tastes like butterscotch and cream soda and is topped with whipped cream. It’s the perfect choice to refresh you on a hot summer day! This is my personal favorite version of the drink.
Where can I find it?
- Diagon Alley – Leaky Cauldron, The Hopping Pot

Hot Butterbeer
This warm, velvety drink tastes like butterscotch and cream soda and is topped with whipped cream. Until just recently, this was a seasonal drink served only in the winter months, but Universal is now offering it year round. It’s the perfect choice for a cooler day, to warm you up, but I tried this for the first time in May and it is not to be missed. This is right up there with the frozen to be my favorite.

Price: $7.99
Served in a paper cup with a sleeve.
* Butterbeer is my favorite use of a snack credit when using one of the Universal Dining Plans. It’s a great way to get the most out of your snack credit when using it for a $7.99 drink!
Butterbeer Ice Cream
This refreshing treat is the perfect blend of butterscotch and vanilla. This is my top choice for ice cream in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Where can I find it?
- Diagon Alley – Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlour, The Hopping Pot
- Hogsmeade – Three Broomsticks
Price: $5.99 (cup or cone), $7.49 (souvenir glass)
Served in a cup, cone or souvenir glass depending on the location.
Butterbeer Fudge
If you’re a fan of fudge you will enjoy this sweet little square of goodness. There are two layers to the fudge tasting like butterscotch and cream.
Where can I find it?
- Diagon Alley – Sugarplum’s Sweet Shop
- Hogsmeade – Honeydukes
Price: $4.95
Cut in a perfectly portioned square.
Butterbeer Potted Cream
The potted cream is AMAZING!!! It was creamy and sweet with a butterscotch and cream flavor. I shared it with a couple of family members, but I really wanted to have one all to myself, it was that good! I will definitely be getting this on every visit to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!
