Butterbeer, from the Harry Potter book series, is described as foamy, spicy, and creamy. The culinary team at Universal Orlando spent two years researching and developing the (closely guarded) recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 2 tablespoons butterscotch topping

  • 1 to 2 teaspoons lemon juice

  • 6 (12 ounce) bottles cream soda

Directions

  1. Freeze 6 mugs or pint glasses until icy, at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, for whipped topping, beat together cream, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until stiff peaks form. Add butterscotch topping and lemon juice; beat again until soft peaks form. 

  2. For each butterbeer, pour 1 can cream soda into a mug; top with about 2 tablespoons whipped topping. Serve immediately.

    Test Kitchen Tip

    Start with 1 teaspoon lemon juice in the whipped topping; add up to 1 teaspoon more for a less sweet sipper. For a boozy version, sub out butterscotch topping for 1 ounce butterscotch schnapps and add 1 1/2 ounces gold or spiced rum to each glass with the cream soda.
