This Butterbeer recipe is the perfect drink to sip on while watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The recipe was conceived by Rebecca of the Working Class Foodies from [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambitious-global-event). This simple DIY video takes you through the steps of creating the rich frothy treat. For the Butterbeer recipe, Rebecca states that she drew inspiration from other recipes found online.

The biggest noticeable difference in Rebecca's Butterbeer recipe? The [addition of bourbon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rebel-bourbon-butter-pecan), which adds a nice kick to the otherwise non-alcoholic beverage.

**Implications** - Pop culture franchises often inspire their fans to create their own versions of products featured in the original story. By doing this, the audience feels a deeper connection to the brand while also withdrawing from reality, even if it is just for a moment.
