The Flying Cauldron’s Butterscotch Soda is a yummy, non-alcoholic butterbeer-style soda from Reed’s, the company that makes Virgil’s Rootbeer. Plus the text on the packaging is hilarious. It’s the perfect addition to any Harry Potter birthday party!
My kiddo is too young for us to read even the first book together yet, outside of a few heavily-edited scenes. But thanks to the Lego Harry Potter line and a lot of questions, it’s been on our pretend play roster for overa year now. Which is very fun for me, because I’ve always been a big Harry Potter fan myself! Although it is tough to have to hold back my explanations because I don’t want to spoil it for him. We’ve had many discussions about what a spoiler is and whyhe probably wants to avoid them.
We picked up a four-pack of this Butterscotch Beer the last time we were at Whole Foods (you can also buy it online), and Harry Potter’s birthday seemed like a great reason to give it a try. My son thoughtdoing a taste-test video sounded like fun, and so here it goes:
Mind you, that’s only his third sip of soda ever, hence the face! He had more than one sip, so I know that he likedit as well as he could like any strange, new, bubbly thing.
As for me, I have an aversion to butterscotch due to eating an entire bag of the stuff in one sitting when I was kid (I don’t recommend that!), but I actually really liked this soda. It’s not something I’d drink on a regular basis — of course, soda in general isn’t a common thing in our house anymore — but The Flying Cauldron’s Butterscotch Sodawill certainly be a part of any Harry Potter birthday parties or other celebrations we have in the future.

Just as Rowling imagined, there's more flavor here than sugar, or at least that's how it drinks — essentially, you're getting a butterscotch cream soda with a float of something like toasted marshmallow crème; there's no escaping the inevitable foam mustache, and while you can try, you'll never outdrink the head.
Langston Cream Soda was a drink advertised for sale in New York, December 1926. In December 1993, Filius Flitwick ordered a co*cktail from the Three Broomsticks Inn in Hogsmeade that consisted of cherry syrup, soda and ice. Exploda Soda was a drink sold aboard the Hogwarts Express on the Honeydukes Express as of 2019.
Butterbeer had a slight alcoholic content and although was safe for children to drink, it could affect creatures (such as house-elves) if consumed in to high a quantity. Harry enjoyed his first Butterbeer in Hogsmeade.
The Butter Beer is worth the expense. Get it in a keepsake mug which can be refilled with various drinks of your choice around the park for . 85 instead of the customary/exhorbitant drink fee. Get your Butter Beer in The Three Broomsticks rather than on the street.
A simple brown sugar and butter syrup gets topped with cream soda and a dollop of cream in this wildly popular drink. Next time you are having a Harry Potter movie marathon, book club meeting, or even a Halloween party, pull out all the stops with this sweet drink that even Harry, Ron, and Hermione would approve of.
Let's start with the original - the classic, cold Butterbeer [$9 in Hollywood and $8.99 in Orlando]. The mildly carbonated non-alcoholic beverage has a taste reminiscent of cream soda, topped with foam that offers more pronounced butterscotch flavor.
