Butterbeer

During my recent quest for anything Harry Potter, to fill the void left by the movie series ending, I found a recipe for butterbeer, a popular drink in the books and movies. Although this drink is made up, JK Rowling tasted the drink that Universal Studios is serving to the lucky visitors of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and gave it the thumbs up. Of course Universal is sitting their butts pretty tight on THAT recipe so this is the one that came closest. (With a little tweaking by yours truly!)

Ingredients

2 liters of cream soda

1 cup of whipped cream

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butterscotch syrup

4 tablespoons butter
Red and yellow food coloring (optional)

1/2 teaspoon rum(optional)

Instructions

Measure 1 cup butterscotch and butter in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 1 to 1 ½ minutes.

Let cool for 30 seconds.

Mix butterscotch mixture, cream soda, a few drops of  both food colorings, and rum extract. Mixture will fizz.

Mix 2 tablespoons butterscotch and 1 cup whipped cream until evenly mixed.

Pour cream soda mix into glass and top with a dollop of butterscotch whipped cream.

Enjoy!
