Happy Hour with Harry!

If you’re a Harry Potter fan (and come on, how can you not be?) then you’ve wanted to try Butterbeer. The magical, frothy drink that warms your insides sounds incredibly delicious. And with a slew of Potter fans wanting to try the drink as well, there are plenty of different recipes to try.

So throw your own HP party (whether its for the upcoming book release or the new movie) and whip up a batch of Butterbeer for you and your muggle friends.

And if you don’t feel like going to the trouble, drop a shot of butterscotch schnapps into a pint of your favorite beer. It’s surprisingly delicious!

Cold Butterbeer

From Britta Blvd

1 cup butterscotch schnapps

7 cups cream soda (almost one 2 liter bottle)

-Carefully mix just before serving, adding the schnapps to the soda then stirring gently to mix well, or the fizz will dissipate too soon.

Hot Butterbeer

From Elanor Isolda at The Leaky Lounge

1 litre cream soda

2-3 tbsp butter

2-3 tbsp brown sugar
200ml single cream
 4 or 5 Werther’s Originals

-Put the cream soda in a pan to boil.

-Melt the butter and sugar together until the sugar has dissolved.

-Pour the butter and sugar mixture into the pan of boiling cream soda (make sure the soda is boiling, or the butter and sugar will solidify).

-Add the cream.

-Add the Werther’s Originals and stir continuously until they melt.

-Serve hot.

-You can also add a couple of shots of Butterscotch Schnapps for that extra kick!
