Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Whipped Cream Topping
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
For the Butterbeer
  • 67.6 fluid ounces cream soda well chilled (approx. 2 liter bottle)
  • 5 Tablespoons butterscotch topping
  • 2 Tablespoons butter extract
  • 0.33 cup butterscotch topping for drizzling on top

Method
 

Whipped Cream Topping
  1. Whip the heavy cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Slowly beat in the powdered sugar until well combined and the mixture is fluffy. Set aside.
Butterbeer Assembly
  1. In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup of the chilled cream soda with 5 tablespoons of butterscotch topping and 2 tablespoons of butter extract. Whisk well until fully mixed.
  2. Gradually add the remaining cream soda to the pitcher, stirring gently to combine without losing too much fizz. Continue until the entire 2-liter bottle has been added.
  3. Pour the butterbeer mixture into 8-ounce glasses. Top each glass generously with the prepared whipped cream and drizzle with the remaining 0.33 cup of butterscotch topping.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy your magical homemade butterbeer!

Notes

For an extra touch, you can chill your glasses in the freezer before serving. If you can't find butter extract, you can omit it or add a little extra butterscotch flavor, but the extract really gives it that authentic taste.
