Ingredients

For the topping:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon butter extract
  • cup butterscotch syrup plus more for serving, optional

For the butterbeer:

  • 2 liters chilled cream soda
  • cup butterscotch syrup
  • ¾ teaspoon butter extract

Instructions

  • Place the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and butter extract into a medium-sized bowl. With an electric hand mixer, whip until stiff peaks form.
  • Add the butterscotch syrup to the bowl and fold it in gently until there are no streaks left. Place the bowl into the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • In a large bowl or pitcher, add about 1 cup of the cream soda, the butterscotch syrup, and butter extract.
  • Whisk until the syrup has dissolved into the soda.
  • Add the rest of the soda to the bowl/pitcher and stir to combine.
  • Add butterbeer to glasses. Top with the butterscotch whipped cream and more butterscotch syrup if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Don't skip out on the butterscotch whipped cream- it's what really elevates this drink to the next level!
  2. Serving this chilled is the best way to enjoy this wizarding drink. 
  3. You can also use caramel extract in place of some of the butterscotch syrup if you want something a little milder.  
  4. Keep this drink chilled until you're ready to serve. 
  5. A&W is the brand of cream soda that we used. The flavors of cream soda can vary from brand to brand, so if whatever brand you use isn't your favorite, try a different one next time.
