Ahh... have yourself a glass of butterbeer. For those who aren't Harry Potter fanatics, you must be imagining a big mug of beer with a block of butter bobbing up and down. It's the popular wizarding beverage that Harry, Hermione, and Ron drink at The Three Broomsticks and The Hog's Head.
Ingredients
- 1 cup light or dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 6 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
- 3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon rum extract
- Four 12-ounce bottles cream soda
Directions
- In a small saucepan over medium, combine the brown sugar and water.
- Bring to a gentle boil and cook, stirring often, until the mixture reads 240 F on a candy thermometer.
- Stir in the butter, salt, vinegar and 1/4 heavy cream.
- Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the rum extract.
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture and the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream.
- Use an electric mixer to beat until just thickened, but not completely whipped, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- To serve, divide the brown sugar mixture between 4 tall glasses (about 1/4 cup for each glass).
- Add 1/4 cup of cream soda to each glass, then stir to combine.
- Fill each glass nearly to the top with additional cream soda, then spoon the whipped topping over each.
