How much is a butterbeer at Universal?

Q: How much is the Butterbeer at Harry Potter World? You can purchase a cup of hot, cold, or frozen butterbeer for $8.50 at either Harry Potter World. You can also purchase the frozen or cold butterbeer in a souvenir mug for $14.50.



As of early 2026, the price of Butterbeer at Universal Studios (Orlando, Hollywood, and Japan) varies depending on the format you choose. A standard Cold Butterbeer or Frozen Butterbeer typically costs between $8.50 and $9.50, plus tax. If you prefer the Hot Butterbeer, which is seasonally available or found year-round in specific locations like The Three Broomsticks, prices usually sit at the higher end of that range, around $9.25. For those wanting a souvenir, purchasing Butterbeer in a collectible plastic mug will increase the cost to approximately $14.00 to $16.00. There are also other variations, such as Butterbeer Potted Cream (approx. $6.50) and Butterbeer Ice Cream (approx. $7.00). It is worth noting that Butterbeer is non-alcoholic and dairy-friendly versions are now widely available. While prices have seen incremental "inflationary" increases over the last two years, it remains the most iconic and essential purchase for any visitor to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
