⭐️ Cold Butter Beer (Original) Location: All dining venues, Butterbeer Cart and Bar
The OG, the iconic moment, the one and only, Butterbeer. Cold Butterbeer is a light cream soda base topped with butterscotch-flavored, non-dairy foam. The taste of the noticeably sweet drink is dismal to some, while others find it pleasantly refreshing. I fall into the latter category and enjoy it as a sweet treat. Straws are not used for cold butterbeer. This is because when you stir the topping, the soda causes a chemical reaction like a baking soda volcano, causing the bubbles to expand.

The newly created Vegan Cold Butterbeer is the same as regular Butterbeer, but with a new selection of vegan-friendly sodas and toppings. Universal kept the same Butterbeer flavor but presented it in a new format that was more consumer-friendly. Vegan Butterbeer can be found at The Leaky Cauldron and Three Broomsticks.

⭐️ Progen Butter Beer (Original) Location: All dining venues, Butterbeer Cart and Bar
If you drink cold butterbeer and make a slush with soda base, you will get frozen butterbeer. The base drink is less sweet than Cold Butterbeer, but the frothy topping is the same. Most guests who don't like Cold Butterbeer will love the Frozen variant, making it a safe choice for the Butterbeer curious.

⭐️ Warm Butter Beer Location: All dining venues and bars
Warm Butterbeer is a warm drink with a butterscotch flavor, similar to a latte or hot chocolate. The base drink is warm but not too hot and tastes like Warders Original Candy, and the topping is OG Butterbeer Foam. Butter beer is my favorite. It's not too sweet and doesn't lack butter beer flavor. Best to order in the morning or during winter.

There are two types of butterbeer ice cream. The first ice cream option was a solidly packaged light cream flavored ice cream with butterscotch flavored stripes sprinkled on top, but Universal took another swing with Diagon Alley's excellent soft serve butter beer ice cream. The basic soft serve has a light cream flavor, and a special device in the soft serve ice cream machine places light ribbons of butterscotch flavor around the edges of the dispensed soft serve.

⭐️ Potted Cream Butter Beer Location: All dining locations
Light butterscotch cream topped with vanilla topping and served in a glass jar. Lighter and less sweet than other butter beers, Potted Cream is a favorite among customers who find other butter beers too sweet. Unfortunately, this version is only available in Leaky Cauldron and Three Broomsticks.

candy! Butterbeer-flavored fudge and caramel can be found at candy stores in Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. The new Butterbeer Gummies are sold at Honeyduke's and come in special Butterbeer Cart themed candy containers. Butterbeer candy, like the original drink, features a butterscotch flavor with a vanilla flavor.

⭐️ butter beer popsicle Location: Hogsmeade Snack Cart and The Hopping Pot
Universal's latest Butterbeer variation, the Butterbeer Popsicle (or Ice Lolly for the British), is a cream and butterscotch-flavored ice novelty that tastes similar to Butterbeer soft serve. Our Derek Burgan wasn't a fan of the flavor of the pops, but he appreciated the themed packaging.
