Ingredients

Scale

For the Drink

  • 10 ounces cream soda
  • 1 teaspoon butter extract
  • 2 tablespoons butterscotch syrup

For Optional Rim

  • Yellow sprinkles
  • Water (to wet the glass rim)

Optional Butterbeer Foam Topping

  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract or 1 teaspoon butter extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass Rim: Wet the outer edge and rim of the glass with water. Dip the rim into a plate of yellow sprinkles, rolling the glass around until the entire rim is evenly coated for a charming decorative touch.
  2. Apply Butterscotch Syrup: Rim the inside of the glass with 2 tablespoons of butterscotch syrup, allowing it to drip attractively down the sides of the glass.
  3. Add Ice and Cream Soda: Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour in 10 ounces of cold cream soda over the ice.
  4. Add Butter Extract: Stir in 1 teaspoon of butter extract to infuse the drink with that signature buttery flavor.
  5. Mix and Serve: Gently stir the ingredients together until well combined. Your Butterbeer is ready to enjoy!
  6. Optional Butterbeer Foam: To make a creamy whipped topping, whisk together 1 cup whipping cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon rum or butter extract, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Spoon or pipe this foam on top of the prepared drink for an indulgent finish.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of butterscotch syrup if preferred less sweet.
  • If butterscotch syrup is unavailable, caramel syrup can be used as a substitute, though flavor will vary slightly.
  • For a fizzy effect, pour cream soda slowly to retain carbonation.
  • The optional whipped cream topping adds a rich, creamy texture enhancing the Butterbeer experience.
  • Use butter extract sparingly as it has a strong flavor; start with 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste.
  • The rimmed sugar adds visual appeal and a crunchy texture contrast.
