So I am a big fan of fictional movie/tv food and drink and Harry Potter's Butter Beer has always fascinated me. In case you don't know, Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida currently offers an official J.K. Rowling approved Butter Beer as part of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction, in which they serve the cream soda and butterscotch flavored drink in collectible plastic mugs.
The mugs however, look like cheap plastic beer mugs and bear no resemblance to the mugs used in the films.

With the opening of the Diagon Alley expansion mid last year, they began to serve "Hot Butter Beer" in new plastic mugs that have a pedestal like the film version ones:
For most amateur fans, bringing these plastic mugs home to display is good enough but for those who want to make a batch of their own Butter Beer (recipes are all over the internet) and drink it in the official glassware used in the Three Broomsticks and the Hog's Head, the glass is a 10oz Libbey Irish Coffee mug that can be found online, or on ebay from time to time, usually in sets of 4. Libbey makes a wide range of Irish Coffee mugs so be sure that you are getting the straight vertical sided version with the correct handle:
