Hot Butterbeer Recipes + FREE Harry Potter Recipe Card

By admin 2 Comments

We love hot Butterbeer! Now that Universal Orlando Resort serves hot butterbeer, we thought we’d try replicate it with some hot butterbeer recipes.

It is perfect year round, almost better than pumpkin drinks.

I am super excited with the recipes. They turned out pretty darn good! Give them a try and for a little kick, just add a little Irish cream.

Hot Butterbeer Recipes

I’ve modified all the Butterbeer recipes, below to make a single serving. To make more servings, just multiply these recipe amounts by the number of servings you wish to serve!

Hot Butterbeer Recipe #1

This hot Butterbeer recipe is pretty close to the “real” thing at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It’s certainly closer than the two cold recipes that we tried, last week.

Hot Butterbeer Recipe Ingredients:

  • 10 OZ of Cream Soda (1 & 1/4 cups)
  • 1 Tbsp of Salted REAL Butter
  • 1/2 Cup Butterscotch chips
  • 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream

Instructions:

  1. Put the Butterscotch Chips and Butter in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds. Stir and Heat for another 30 seconds.  Now add the Heavy Cream to the bowl.
  2. Microwave in 30 Second increments again. Stirring each time.   It usually takes about 4 times (2 minutes) to get the right consistency.  Set your mixture aside.  The chips and butter should be a thick stir-able paste.
  3. Heat Cream soda in the microwave for 90 seconds.  BE VERY CAREFUL!   Microwaves times vary.  Make sure not to over heat the Cream Soda or all of the fizz will be gone.
  4. Pour Butterscotch mixture into heated Cream Soda.
  5. Stir & Serve!

Hot Butterbeer Recipe #2

This hot Butterbeer recipe was the clear winner! Tastes almost exactly like the hot Butterbeer served at the two Harry Potter parks at Universal Orlando Resort!

Hot Butterbeer Recipe Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cider vinegar
  • 1/8 cup heavy cream, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon rum extract
  • Two 12-ounce bottles cream soda

Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan over medium, combine the brown sugar and water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook, stirring often, until the mixture reads 240F on a candy thermometer.
  2. Stir in the butter, salt, vinegar and 1/2 heavy cream.
  3. Mix in the rum extract.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture and the remaining heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat until just thickened, but not completely whipped, about 2 to 3 minutes. (When I made this recipe, I went the fast route and just used a can of whipped cream for this step. Worked out just fine).
  5. To serve, divide the brown sugar mixture between 2 tall glasses (about 1/8 cup for each glass). Add 1/8 cup of cream soda to each glass, then stir to combine. Fill each glass nearly to the top with additional cream soda, then spoon the whipped topping over each.

You may choose to heat the cream soda. Otherwise, this is more of a lukewarm Butterbeer, rather than hot Butterbeer.

    Not sure about recipe #2, but #1 was so sickeningly sweet that it immediately got dumped down the drain.

    #2 was suuuuper sweet, so I only finished a few swallows. My sister and I did this as a fun treat, and we added rum to ours. Don’t get me wrong, it was tasty, but do yourself a favor: just get about two tbsp of heavy cream in a glass, add a little rum or rum extract, and fill half your glass with cream soda. Fill the rest with ice and it will be more palatable than these recipes.
