Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups cream soda (chilled)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) butterscotch syrup
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Sweeteners and Stabilizers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft a luxurious whipped cream topping by vigorously whisking heavy cream with powdered sugar, butterscotch syrup, and vanilla extract until soft, billowy peaks emerge. Refrigerate the cream mixture to maintain its delicate texture while preparing the beverage.
- Create the butterbeer base by gently melting butter in a saucepan over low heat, then seamlessly incorporating butterscotch syrup and vanilla extract until the mixture transforms into a smooth, golden liquid. Carefully introduce cream soda, stirring with a delicate touch to preserve the drink’s effervescence.
- For a warm rendition, gently heat the butterbeer mixture until it reaches a comforting temperature; alternatively, serve chilled for a refreshing variation.
- Select elegant mugs or glasses and artfully pour the butterbeer, ensuring an even distribution of the golden liquid.
- Crown the beverage with the previously prepared whipped cream, allowing it to cascade softly over the surface.
- Elevate the presentation with a tantalizing drizzle of additional butterscotch syrup, creating a mesmerizing finishing flourish that captures the magical essence of the drink.
Notes
- Elevate the whipped cream’s flavor by using real Madagascar vanilla extract for a richer, more authentic taste.
- Experiment with different cream soda brands to find the perfect balance of sweetness and carbonation that suits your palate.
- For a non-alcoholic version that’s kid-friendly, ensure all ingredients are completely alcohol-free and use a high-quality butterscotch syrup.
- Create a dairy-free alternative by substituting heavy cream with coconut whipped cream and using plant-based butter alternatives for a vegan-friendly magical drink.
