Buying Ingredients Near Three Wizards
If you’re reading this prior to departing for your trip to Three Wizards, you may want to buy your recipe ingredients near your home. If you’re already at Three Wizards, here’s some tips for finding the ingredients.
We could only find small 4-packs of IBC Cream Soda at the Food City nearest to Three Wizards. If you’re planning on making more than 4 butterbeers, it would be best to go to Kroger or Publix where you’ll be more likely to find A&W Cream Soda in regular and diet.
The vodka and schnapps are going to be a bigger challenge. Though you will see distilleries everywhere you look, Kodak, Sevierville and Pigeon Forge do not have any stores that sell liquor (with the exception of distilleries selling their own liquor). If you plan to visit Gatlinburg during your trip, there are a few liquor stores there. If you have no plans to visit Gatlinburg, then the nearest liquor store is about 15 miles away at MC’s Wine & Liquor, 7500 Strawberry Plains Pike, Knoxville, TN 37924.
Enjoy!
