Homemade Butterbeer 

Note :

This drink is served chilled, but not on ice, so make sure all components are very cold to start with. You can even chill your glasses in the freezer while you assemble the drink.

If making the butterscotch syrup from scratch, please see headnotes and use this Simply Recipes butterscotch sauce recipe. Extra butterscotch whipped cream can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.

Ingredients

For the whipped cream topping

1/4 cup heavy cream

2 teaspoons butterscotch syrup (homemade—see above—or store bought)

1 teaspoon powdered sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

For the drink

1 tablespoon butterscotch syrup (homemade—see above—or store bought)

12 ounces cream soda

Method

Make the whipped cream topping: 

In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, butterscotch syrup, powdered sugar, and salt. 

Beat until medium peaks form (the peak will flop over when the beater is turned upside down), about 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.

Make the drink:

In the chilled pint glass, combine the butterscotch syrup and cream soda, stirring to combine.

Garnish drink with whipped cream topping and serve:

Spoon about 1 inch of the butterscotch whipped cream over the top of the soda. Enjoy!
