Butterbeer is the drink of choice for younger wizards. Harry is first presented with the beverage in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Although House-elves can become intoxicated on Butterbeer, the amount of alcohol contained in Butterbeer has a negligible effect on Witches and Wizards. J.K. Rowling said in her interview to Bon Appétit magazine that she imagines it "to taste a little bit like less-sickly butterscotch." Butterbeer can be served cold or hot but either way it has a warming effect.
Butterbeer was a real drink, the earliest reference to Buttered Beer is from The Good Huswifes Handmaide for the Kitchin, published in London in AD 1588, made from beer, sugar, eggs, nutmeg, cloves and butter back in Tudor times. Another old recipe for Buttered Beer, published by Robert May in AD 1664 from his recipe book The Accomplisht Cook, calls for liquorish root and anniseeds to be added. British celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal recreated the drink for his show "Heston's Tudor Feast."[32]
It was announced in April 2010 that a drink named after butterbeer is sold in the theme park The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando. The beverage is also sold at The World of Harry Potter Studios in Watford, England. It has a sweet taste and is a non-alcoholic beverage. It was taste-tested by J. K. Rowling herself. According to Neil Genzlinger, a staff editor on the culture desk of The New York Times, the beverage "is indistinguishable from a good quality cream soda."[33]
