Harry Potter Butterbeer
This Harry Potter Butterbeer is SO EASY! A sweet, creamy, and fizzy magical drink perfect for any wizarding fan or cozy night in.
Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Whisk or electric mixer
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Serving glasses or mugs
- Ladle or spoon
Ingredients
- 2 cups cream soda for a sweet, fizzy base
- 1 cup butterscotch syrup the heart of the flavor profile
- 1/4 cup heavy cream adds richness and creaminess
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances the buttery notes
- Whipped cream for a decadent, frothy topping
Instructions
- Begin by ensuring your cream soda, heavy cream, and any serving glasses are well chilled. Cold ingredients help maintain the fizzy bubbles and keep the drink refreshingly cool.
- In your large mixing bowl, pour in the cream soda and butterscotch syrup. Gently whisk the two together until the syrup is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. This creates the sweet, bubbly foundation of your Butterbeer.
- In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream with the vanilla extract. Whip the cream using a whisk or electric mixer until soft peaks form. The cream should be thick but still light enough to dollop generously on top of your drink.
- Pour the cream soda and butterscotch mixture into your chilled glasses, filling them about three-quarters full. Then, carefully spoon or pipe the whipped cream on top, creating a frothy, creamy cap that looks just like the Butterbeer served at the Three Broomsticks.
- Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, and enjoy the magical blend of flavors. Whether you’re sharing with friends or savoring a quiet moment, this Harry Potter Butterbeer promises a spellbinding experience.
Notes
- Whisk gently when mixing cream soda and syrup to preserve carbonation.
- Use fresh, cold heavy cream for the best whipped cream texture.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fizzy, frothy experience at its best.
- Try substituting light cream or dairy-free options for dietary preferences.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spicy twist.
