Scale
Main Ingredients
- 10 ounces cream soda
- 1 teaspoon butter extract
- 2 tablespoons butterscotch syrup
Optional Garnish
- Yellow sprinkles for rimming the glass
- Ice cubes
Butterbeer Foam (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
- Prepare the glass rim: Wet the outer edge and rim of the glass with water, then dip it into a plate of yellow sprinkles, rolling it around until the entire rim is coated for added charm.
- Coat the glass inside: Rim the inside of the glass with 2 tablespoons of butterscotch syrup and allow it to drip down the sides, adding a rich buttery flavor.
- Add ice and cream soda: Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour in 10 ounces of cream soda, providing the base of the drink.
- Add butter extract: Stir in 1 teaspoon of butter extract to infuse the signature buttery taste.
- Mix and enjoy: Stir the drink gently to combine all flavors evenly and enjoy your homemade Butterbeer.
- Optional – Make Butterbeer Foam: In a stand mixer bowl, whisk together 1 cup whipping cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon rum or butter extract, and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Spoon this whipped cream topping over your Butterbeer for an authentic frothy finish.
Notes
- Using yellow sprinkles on the rim adds visual appeal and enhances the festive feel.
- The butterscotch syrup not only flavors the drink but makes the glass look enticing.
- You can substitute rum extract in the foam for a slightly different but complementary flavor.
- Adjust the amount of butter extract to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder buttery flavor.
- Serve immediately after preparation to keep the carbonation of the cream soda intact.
- The optional butterbeer foam will enhance creaminess but adds extra calories.
