Instructions
Pour the ingredients in a large pitccher. Stir the mixture until the butterscotch syrup is fully dissolved into the cream soda. Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes.
Once the base is chilled, pour it into individual glasses, filling each about 3/4 full. Then, top each glass with a generous dollop of whipped cream. For an extra touch, drizzle a bit of butterscotch syrup over the whipped cream.
The igredients are what make butterbeer so enchanting.
Cream soda is the carbonated drink that forms the base of our butterbeer, offering sweetness and a hint of vanilla.
Butterscotch syrup lends that quintessential buttery flavor, this syrup is the heart of the butterbeer taste.
Heavy cream, whipped to create a frothy topping, adds a rich texture reminiscent of a thick, creamy head on a pint of ale.
Butter extract is optional, but a few drops enhance the buttery goodness without overpowering the drink.
Vanilla extract is also optiona. Add it for a more complex flavor profile, hinting at the magical allure of the drink.
Notes
For serving, consider using vintage-style mug glasses to keep with the magical theme. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for an added layer of flavor and a touch of Hogwarts charm.
The best part about making Butterbeer is sharing it with fellow wizards and witches. Cheers to magical moments and unforgettable flavors!
