Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 10 ounces cream soda
  • 1 teaspoon butter extract
  • 2 tablespoons butterscotch syrup

Optional Rim and Topping

  • Yellow sprinkles for glass rim
  • Ice cubes as needed

Whipped Cream Topping (Optional)

  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract or 1 teaspoon butter extract
  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass Rim: Wet the outer edge and rim of your glass with water. Dip it into a plate of yellow sprinkles and roll the glass around until the entire rim is coated to add charm and color.
  2. Add Butterscotch Syrup: Rim the inside of the glass with 2 tablespoons of butterscotch syrup, allowing some to drip down the sides for sweetness and flavor.
  3. Add Ice and Cream Soda: Fill the glass with ice cubes and pour in 10 ounces of cream soda to chill and fizz up the drink.
  4. Mix in Butter Extract: Add 1 teaspoon of butter extract into the glass and stir gently to mix the flavors well.
  5. Enjoy Your Butterbeer: Serve immediately and enjoy the classic magical soda experience.
  6. Optional Whipped Cream Topping: To make the creamy whipped cream topping, whisk 1 cup whipping cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon rum or butter extract, and a pinch of salt together in a stand mixer until soft peaks form. Spoon this whipped cream over the top of your Butterbeer for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • You can rim the glass with yellow sprinkles to add extra visual appeal and sweetness.
  • The butterscotch syrup not only flavors the drink but also enhances the presentation by dripping down the glass.
  • Adjust the amount of butter extract to your taste preference for a stronger or milder buttery flavor.
  • The optional whipped cream topping is easy to make and adds a rich, creamy contrast to the soda base.
  • Use cold cream soda and ice for the best refreshing effect.
