'Potential'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
But I have no interest in butterbeer: it sounds kind of disgusting, as does pumpkin juice.
I'm actually intrigued by pumpkin juice! It sounds like it could be good! Every time they mention it, I wonder if it's a real thing because I want to try it. Butterbeer sounds terrible, though.
Like butterscotch but milder, somehow.
Hm, I could see that. I don't like butterscotch, though, so I'll stick with pumpkin juice.
Yeah, I always thought of butterbeer as like, cream soda meets butterscotch schnapps. Haven't though of pumpkin juice...I like pumpkin soup fine, but seems it'd be rather smoothie-esque for juice.
The butterbeer they serve at the Harry Potter Universal park in Florida is delicious--somewhere between cream soda and butterscotch, with whipped cream on top. So good it made me wish they'd market it nationally.

So: Virgil's Cream Soda plus Routin's Butterscotch Syrup = Butterbeer.
Butterbeer always sounded painfully yum to me (I always imagined it pretty much just how -t and meara described), and now Polgara is not helping with the craving one tiny bit.
Pumpkin juice, less yum, though I have had some excellent pumpkin smoothies (they tasted like pumpkin pie ice cream milkshakes).
There's also the unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook which apparently has a butterbeer recipe.
But after Polgara's report I'm content with my suggestion.
It was sooooo yummy, we all had seconds. Only had the frozen butterbeer though--it was September and ickily humid out.
They also had bottles of pumpkin juice, but we never got around to trying that.
I can't imagine what pumpkin juice tastes like but I would like to try it. As I read the books I imagined butterbeer was the the hard cider version of rootbeer.

That I would drink. But the butterscotch and cream soda stuff sounds too sweet for me. I like my beers bitter (IPA, yum!).
