Celebrate the release of the latest Harry Potter movie with butterbeer. The Irish grandmother of a dear friend of mine used to melt butter in a pot, then pour in beer to warm it. I'm told this simple version of butter beer dates back centuries. Author J. K. Rowling does not provide a recipe for butterbeer in her wildly popular Harry Potter book series, so this version is pure speculation. Harry Potter's butterbeer contains a mild intoxicant, but this dessert beverage version is suitable for children and tasty enough to please adults as well.

Wow–this sounds amazing! It’s funny that whenever I read about butterbeer in the HP books, I always end up with a vague craving, even though it’s not clear what butterbeer is. Your version sounds fabulous–perfect for a HP party.
Way better than Pumpkin Juice I’m sure! Sounds terrific. I will surely try it.
Far too buttery.
