If you're on the West Coast, you can score your drink at the Hog’s Head pub or the Three Broomsticks restaurant at Universal Studios Hollywood.īutterbeer first became available for sale at the parks in 2010 when The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade opened at Universal Orlando Resort. In Universal Orlando, head to the Three Broomsticks eatery in Hogsmeade and the Leaky Cauldron restaurant in Diagon Alley to buy your non-dairy Butterbeer. Since the Wizarding World themed lands at the Orlando and Hollywood parks do such a good job of replicating settings from the book and film series, you can also pick up your Butterbeer at such hotspots. Wizards can also order one at spots like the Leaky Cauldron pub in Diagon Alley, the fictional London strip that's accessible to magical beings.

Universal is promising a nearly-identical taste to the existing drink, which also boasts shortbread flavors, except that this new addition will be topped off with a froth that's vegan-based. Just like the the original version of Butterbeer that's long been a staple at the parks, the vegan variety will come in both cold and frozen forms - which, let's face it, is a big plus in the Florida and California heat. The butterscotch-flavored beverage will now be sold at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at both Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood, the theme park company announced Thursday. Vegan Harry Potter fans - or those just looking to ditch dairy - can now get a taste of Butterbeer, the sweet sip that all the cool young wizards and witches drink in the books and films they inspired.
