With a flavor reminiscent of butterscotch and shortbread, Butterbeer is a perfectly fine-tuned Wizarding World treat that includes cold, frozen, hot, and non-dairy Butterbeer beverages along with Butterbeer fudge, potted cream, and ice cream.
Additionally, guests will be able to celebrate the season at Hogsmeade located at Universal Islands of Adventures, and Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Orlando. Butterbeer Season is a new, annual celebration of the iconic Harry Potter beverage’s flavor, scent, and look.
