Every Type of Butterbeer, and Where to Find Them at Universal Orlando in 2025


Did you even go to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter if you didn't have copious amounts of Butterbeer?? 
In 2025, Universal Orlando Resort offers Butterbeer in 7 different forms! Each type of Butterbeer offers unique experience. The latest addition is the Butterbeer Ice Lolly.
Although Butterbeer is without a doubt the most popular treat, it's a super sweet and sugary snack that isn't for everyone. I suggest trying all 7 though, because you never know what you’ll like best.
Here’s everything you need to know about Butterbeer in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort in 2025.

What are the Seven Types of Butterbeer at Universal Orlando Resort in 2025?

  • Frozen Butterbeer
  • Cold Regular Butterbeer
  • Hot Butterbeer
  • Butterbeer ice cream
  • Butterbeer potted cream
  • Butterbeer fudge
  • Butterbeer Ice Lolly

Cold Butterbeer

Cold Butter tastes a lot like cream soda, butterscotch and shortbread flavors. It comes topped off with a thick layer of whipped cream. 

Where Can You Find Cold Butterbeer at Universal Orlando?

  • In Diagon Alley: The Leaky Cauldron, The Fountain of Fair Fortune and The Hopping Pot. 
  • In Hogsmeade: The Three Broomsticks, Hog’s Head and 2 outdoor Butterbeer carts.

Frozen Butterbeer

My favorite type of Butterbeer! Frozen Butterbeer is a slushy version of the iconic drink. Hands down the most refreshing option on a hot Florida day. The slush also helps cut down on the sweetness level.

Where Can You Find Frozen Butterbeer at Universal Orlando?

  • In Diagon Alley: The Leaky Cauldron, The Fountain of Fair Fortune and The Hopping Pot. 
  • In Hogsmeade: The Three Broomsticks, Hog’s Head and both outdoor Butterbeer carts.

Hot Butterbeer

Hot Butterbeer is a Potterhead favorite, and is now offered year-round at both Universal Orlando, and Universal Studios Hollywood 
Hot Butterbeer reminds me of a butterscotch latte. Super creamy, and has a similar consistency to hot chocolate. Out of the 3 drink forms of Butterbeer, I find the Hot to be the sweetest.  

Where Can You Find Hot Butterbeer at Universal Orlando in 2025?

  • In Diagon Alley: The Leaky Cauldron and The Hopping Pot.
  • In Hogsmeade: The Three Broomsticks and at the Hog's Head Pub.
Pro Tip: Since Hot Butterbeer comes in a coffee cup, save the sleeve as a fun WWoHp souvenir to display at home! 

Butterbeer Ice Cream

 Butterbeer ice cream is cold, creamy and delicious! You can get Butterbeer ice cream in 2 forms. Soft Serve and hard packed. Both have a creamy vanilla base with butterscotch swirls.  
You can order them it in a cone or a souvenir cup. Don’t be afraid to try the other flavors at Florean Fortescue’s Ice-Cream Parlour.

Where Can You Find Butterbeer Ice Cream at Universal Orlando?

  • In Diagon Alley: Florean Fortescue’s Ice-Cream Parlour and The Hopping Pot
  • The Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley has hard packed
  • In Hogsmeade: The Three Broomsticks, Honeydukes, outdoor snack carts when Hogsmeade is very busy.

Butterbeer Fudge

If you're a fudge lover, you won't want to miss this one. Butterbeer fudge has two distinct layers. One that’s reminiscent of shortbread and butterscotch. The other layer has a creamy marshmallow-ness taste. It's very, very sweet making it easily shareable. 
Butterbeer fudge is also the cheapest form of Butterbeer.

Where Can You Find Butterbeer Fudge at Universal Orlando?

  • In Diagon Alley: Sugarplum’s Sweet Shop 
  • In Hogsmeade: Honeydukes 

Butterbeer Potted Cream

Potted Butterbeer is by far my least favorite. Think along the lines of Butterbeer pudding + creamy custard. It's not very memorable, but it's less overwhelmingly sweet than the Butterbeer drinks. 
It comes in a small, chilled mason jar, topped off with a dollop of whipped cream. Sadly, you don't get to keep the jar. If you’re a texture person, you may struggle with this one. I always feel like it needs some sort of crunch to it.

  • In Diagon Alley at The Leaky Cauldron 
  • In Hogsmeade at The Three Broomsticks

Butterbeer Ice Lolly

 A twist on the popsicle version of the iconic Butterbeer flavor. A perfect Butterbeer option on a hot park day. New for 2025, the Butterbeer Ice Lolly is not a year-round Butterbeer offering at both Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood.

Available at:

  • The Hopping Pot in Diagon Alley
  • Outdoor Magic Neep Cart in Hogsmeade
