Last week on Flavor Odyssey, we kicked off the Big Screen Bracket Challenge, where we selected four movie-themed cocktails to explore over the next four episodes. First up, from the beloved Harry Potter series: Butterbeer! So grab your wand, shout ‘Bevifors Butterae,’ and conjure up this magical drink. You can craft a ‘traditional’ Butterbeer (if such a thing exists) or whip up your own creative twist—then pair it with a cigar of your choice.
