I just got to thinking and started wondering what butterbeer would taste like. I think it would be like a butterscotch soda what do you think?

I got that impression myself. Fremon gave us a recipe awhile back for it. I think it involved root beer and honey. I think you can find the recipe at mugglenet.com It would definately be interesting to try though. Hanna

yeah i thought it would taste like buttermenthol

I'm thinking it would taste like root beer with butter in it. Which I actually tried, it's pretty good.

but would it be an alcolic drink because if soo the bartenders shouldnt be selling it to them and if it isnt why is it called beer?

No, it couldn't be alcoholic because students can buy it. As for 'beer' in the name, root beer isn't alcoholic.

Yeah,
Students would not be able to buy it if it was.

sorry im from australia and i didnt know what rootbeer was i thought iwas like our beer vb *shakes her head in shame

Here is a Butterbeer Recipe from
Harry Potter Time
Butterbeer Recipe
Ingredients:
12 fluid ounces of root beer OR cream soda (for American readers, 1 can)
1 tablespoon of honey
2 teaspoons of butter
Directions:
Step 1: Place root beer (or cream soda) into a microwave safe glass and heat in microwave for about 30 seconds.
Step 2: Remove root beer (or cream soda) and sit aside while you place butter into microwave long enough to melt it.
Step 3: Now, add your warm root beer (or cream soda), melted butter and honey to the blender and blend for 5-10 seconds. (We recommend 5 as going past this may remove all the fizziness from your root beer (or cream soda) and it just won't taste the same!)
Step 4: Enjoy!

Thank you for posting the actual recipe, I knew I had seen it somewhere before. I have been meaning to try it out. I personally think it would work better with cream soda vs. root beer. And know shame Mrs Malfoy in not knowing what it was. I had a heck of a time working out what a 'ute was. lol! Finally got it though!

you're welcome, and I'm glad I could help. I can't wait to try it! ^_^

Well, I think that it might taste kind of sweet with some kind os hot chocolate taste. I think, I'm not sure :huh:

I don't have all ingriedients, but when I do I'll make it.

Here's another (different!) recipe from Mugglenet
Butterbeer! It warms you up AND tastes great. Now in take-away form from The Three Broomsticks. (Many thanks to Melissa for this recipe!)
Ingredients:
* 1 cup (8 oz) club soda or cream soda
* ½ cup (4 oz) butterscotch syrup (ice cream topping)
* ½ tablespoon butter
Directions:
Step 1: Measure butterscotch and butter into a 2 cup (16 oz) glass. Microwave on high for 1 to 1½ minutes, or until syrup is bubbly and butter is completely incorporated.
Step 2: Stir and cool for 30 seconds, then slowly mix in club soda. Mixture will fizz quite a bit.
Step 3: Serve in two coffee mugs or small glasses; a perfectly warm Hogwarts treat for two!
Step 4: Tell us how this recipe is on the feedback form.

That's the recipe I use. It's actually really good. Everyone should try it!
