Ingredients
Scale
For the Base:
- 4 cups cream soda (chilled)
- ½ cup butterscotch syrup (store-bought or homemade)
- ¼ cup heavy cream (optional, for richness)
For the Froth (Optional):
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
For Garnish:
- Whipped cream
- Drizzle of butterscotch or caramel sauce
Instructions
1. Making the Butterscotch Base
- In a pitcher or bowl, combine butterscotch syrup with a splash of heavy cream (if using). Stir until smooth to create a rich, flavorful base.
- Set the mixture aside for later.
2. Mixing the Drink
- Pour chilled cream soda into glasses, leaving room at the top for the froth.
- Slowly stir in the butterscotch mixture, creating a magical gradient effect at the bottom of the glass.
- Stir gently to combine the flavors without losing the layered look.
3. Creating the Frothy Topping
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Spoon the frothy topping onto each glass of Butterbeer for an authentic touch.
4. Adding Finishing Touches
- Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of butterscotch or caramel sauce.
- Serve immediately with straws or spoons for sipping.
Notes
- For a personalized touch, decorate the glasses with striped paper straws or vintage-style bottles.
- Storage: The butterscotch mixture can be pre-made and stored in the fridge for up to 1 week. The frothy topping is best made fresh, but can be stored for up to 2 days, re-whisked before serving.
