Me and my friend were craving Harry Potter's famous ButterBeer.
Were we going to drive apporx two hours to Universal to get them? No! We decided to make it homemade! Below is the recipe we used. I found the recipe kind of complicating and wouldn't reccommend it if you just wanted to try it. And it doesn't seem like a simple treat to make....I would probably end up just stirring some Nesquick in some milk for a sweet drink rather than go about that recipe again. I mean, it was pretty good....waaaay too sweet for me though, so I poured my glass of ButterBeer into a blender and added ice. I couldn't put it down after that!
(Just fyi, when I visited Universal's Wizarding World of Harry Potter I had the frozen ButterBeer not the original so I'm not entirely sure if the drink was accurate.) My friend said that she liked it and it tasted good, but it wasn't ButterBeer.

This is a different version of the recipe I plan on trying soon just to see how different it tastes. It's super easy....takes about 10 min tops to prepare compared to the hour or so long one. (P.S. The recipe below is more of a iced coffee looking "texture". The complicated recipe is basically a creamy soda...which is what the original is. And when I say creamy I'm not referring to the base, cream soda. I'm referring to the heavy whipping cream involved. Don't let that scare you though! Like I said above, my friend thought it tasted good.)
