Ever since opening in 2011, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter hasn’t been able to sell ButterBeer without its creamy, foam topping. Although the foam topping is often praised as the most delicious part, it’s the only component of the drink that contains dairy. Unfortunately, that means that the drink is inaccessible to a large group of people; however, for the first time in over a decade, you can now purchase the iconic beverage without the dairy component!

Is Butterbeer Dairy Free?

Yes! And no. Butterbeer at Universal's Wizarding World of Harry Potter is dairy free in its cold and frozen form; however, the foam that's served with it is not dairy free. Now, you can ask for it to be served without the foam, which hasn't been an option until recently. Unfortunately the other forms of Butterbeer are still not served in a dairy free way. While ordering the cold or frozen drink, make sure to ask specifically for no topping, otherwise the default drink will still be served with the foam. Make note that while the cold and frozen beverages now have this option, the hot butterbeer drink does not come with this option. While the base drink of the other two are dairy free, the hot butterbeer itself is not dairy free, so it does not have a foamless option at the moment.
