Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml) cream soda (chilled)
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) butterscotch syrup
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) unsalted butter
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (15 g) powdered sugar
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whipped Cream Preparation: Vigorously whisk heavy cream with powdered sugar, butterscotch syrup, and vanilla extract until soft, billowy peaks form. Refrigerate the cream mixture to preserve its delicate texture.
- Butterbeer Base Creation: Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat, smoothly blending in butterscotch syrup and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes a golden liquid. Gently incorporate cream soda, maintaining the drink’s effervescence while stirring.
- Temperature and Serving: Choose between a warm, comforting temperature or a refreshing chilled version. Pour the golden butterbeer into elegant mugs or glasses with precision.
- Finishing Touches: Generously top the beverage with the prepared whipped cream, allowing it to cascade softly over the surface. Drizzle additional butterscotch syrup for a magical, mesmerizing presentation that elevates the drink’s visual appeal.
Notes
- Preserve Cream’s Texture: Refrigerate whipped cream mixture to maintain its light, airy consistency and prevent separation before topping the butterbeer.
- Control Heating Technique: Use low heat when melting butter and mixing ingredients to prevent burning and maintain the smooth, golden flavor profile of the butterbeer.
- Manage Carbonation Carefully: Stir cream soda gently to preserve its fizzy quality, avoiding excessive agitation that could flatten the drink’s natural effervescence.
- Customize Temperature Preference: Experiment with serving temperatures – warm for cozy comfort or chilled for a refreshing twist, allowing flexibility based on personal taste and seasonal mood.
