Harry Potter Butter Beer

 Harry Potter Butter Beer

Ingredients Needed
1 cup (8 oz) club soda or cream soda
½ cup (4 oz) butterscotch syrup (ice cream topping)
½ tablespoon butter
heavy cream (optional)
Mugs

HOW TO MAKE BUTTERBEER
Step 1
Let your butter sit out until it is softened.

Step 2
Then pour the butterscotch syrup into a bowl. Butterscotch is what gives the butterbeer its main flavor.

Step 3
Add the softened butter. Some recipes call for butter extract, but we like the creamy goodness of the real thing.

Step 4
Then combine the syrup and butter

Step 5
Pour cream soda into the mixture and stir.

Step 6
Set aside

Step 7
In a separate mixing bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks. It will take a hot minute by hand, but will go faster with a stand mixer. Don’t over whip or you’ll end up with fresh butter.

Step 8
Pour the cream soda and butterscotch mixture into two clear mugs, and top with a dollop or two of whipped cream.

Alcoholic Butter Beer for Adults
I did say this diy butterbeer was for adults too, and while this is fine as is, you could make this an adult drink (for ages 21+) and add butterscotch schnapps to your butterbeer or some vanilla vodka.
It’s a fun adult spin on the drink that still leaves the sweet fun. You’ll only want to add a little bit or else it may change the flavor.

Make the Butterbeer Sweeter
If you want a sweeter whipped cream you can also add a couple tablespoons of powdered sugar and pure vanilla extract to the heavy whipped cream mixture.

How this Butterbeer Recipe Compares with Universal Studios
After having both the butterbeer in Universal and trying this butterbeer recipe, it tastes just like the real thing. This simple recipe will make you the most popular drink in the Harry Potter world that I think (almost) all Harry Potter fans will love.
