butterbeer

Magical pub drink

Butterbeer is a fictional beverage from the Harry Potter series—a sweet, slightly alcoholic drink served at the Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade.

Described as tasting like butterscotch, it has become a real product at Harry Potter theme parks and a popular homemade recipe: We grabbed butterbeers after the castle tour.
