I've tried a couple of butterbeer recipes I found online, and they all were either so sweet they made me sick or they had oily butter in them that made me sick. I opted for a simplified version that tasted a little bit like less-sickly butterscotch and was strong enough to slightly inebriate something larger than a house elf. Great for Harry Potter-themed parties or Halloween. Served super-chilled in a frosted mug, it can magically warm up even the coldest wizards.

  • Pour butter flavoring into the cream soda, then turn cream soda over to pour quickly into the chilled mug. Gently drop the ice cream into the soda mixture.

Cook's Note:

For a thicker and sweeter froth use 1 small scoop of your favorite vanilla or butterscotch ice cream.

One ounce each of schnapps and rum are for general guests. For a more potent grog, try 1 1/2 ounces schnapps and 1 1/3 ounces rum.

This is REALLY yummy! I made the "potent grog" from the footnotes, and I'm very pleased with the flavor. This is good without the ice cream, but I really think the ice cream makes it. It froths up a whole lot, so be ready with a straw! Read More

Leave lots of room in the cup when you drop the ice cream in but so worth it. Rich creamy sweet and buttery but not oily or syrupy. Read More

Made the strong version with a quality cream soda and the dollop of vanilla ice cream. Absolutely amazing. Read More

This was really good! We did use the optional ice cream. Sailor Jerry's isn't my favorite rum, so personally I think you could use whatever brand you prefer so long as it's mild and doesn't overwhelm the buttery flavor. Thanks for sharing! Read More

This was so yummy! I prepared this as a late night drink and it hit the spot. Sweet, a little kick and helped me go right to sleep. I've had a few different butter beers but this is definitely my favorite. I tried it with and without the ice cream. The ice cream really does make it even better. Read More
