The Big Guy and I have been creating specialty drinks for the holidays over the past few years for our chosen family. This year we were challenged to create the perfect Butter Beer as portrayed in the Harry Potter series. To add to the challenge, we were asked to make it just like the version at Universal Studios. Score one that Big Guy and I read all the Harry Potter books and watched all the movies. Unfortunately, we have never tasted the Butter Beer at Universal. Regardless, we accepted the challenge and went to work researching recipes online with the added knowledge from the kids of their memory of this drink. Big Guy decided to take the best of three recipes and merge them into our “1.0” version. We provided our version to the kids with enthusiasm and hope we nailed it. Let’s just say the fifteen-year-old said it was “okay” all the while hiding his smile of delight. Now we are focused on making the adult version which will become a “2.0” version. I suspect some butterscotch schnapps and vanilla vodka along with a pinch of salt to the recipe will do the trick!
