Homemade Butterbeer Recipe
Description
The Homemade Butterbeer Recipe blends cream soda with butterscotch topping and butter extract to achieve a rich flavored soda reminiscent of classic butterbeer beverages. The mixture is whisked together carefully to distribute the butterscotch flavor evenly through the chilled soda. The drink is served with a topping of whipped cream, made from heavy cream and powdered sugar, to add a creamy contrast to the fizzy soda. Additional butterscotch topping is drizzled on to enhance the butterscotch aroma and flavor.
This beverage is prepared fresh just before serving to retain the effervescence of the soda. The whipped cream can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. For a colder, slushier presentation, the cream soda can be pre-chilled or partially frozen before mixing. The drink is portioned into 8-ounce glasses, making it ideal for sharing at gatherings or themed events.
Additional variations include making a butterscotch whipped cream by substituting some powdered sugar with butterscotch topping. A freezing method with ice and salt can turn the beverage into a slushy treat, adding texture to the classic flavor combination.
Ingredients
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 TBS powdered sugar
Butterbeer
- 2 liters Cream Soda (well chilled)
- 5 TBS butterscotch topping
- 2 TBS butter extract
- ⅓ cup butterscotch topping (for drizzling on top)
Instructions
Whipped Cream
- Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then slowly beat in the powdered sugar until well combined. Set aside.
Butterbeer
- Add 1 cup of cream soda to a large pitcher and whisk in 5 tablespoons butterscotch topping and 2 tablespoons of butter extract. Mix well.
- Once that is mixed together, gradually add the remaining cream soda until you've added the entire 2-liter bottle.
- Pour into 8 ounce glasses and top with the prepared whipped cream and drizzle with butterscotch topping.
Notes
- Prepare whipped cream ahead and keep chilled for ease of serving.
- Use well-chilled cream soda to keep the drink fizzy and refreshing.
- Make the drink just before serving to maintain carbonation and flavor.
- For a slushier version, freeze cream soda before mixing or use the ice-and-salt shaking technique detailed in the notes.
- Butterscotch whipped cream can be made by replacing powdered sugar with butterscotch topping for a deeper flavor.
