Anyone familiar with Harry Potter and the gang knows Butterbeer is THE drink for any wizard or witch—so any Potterhead worth his or her salt has wanted to experience a taste of the buttery flavor and creamy top.
After years of wondering what the magical-sounding Butterbeer actually tastes like—would it have a yeasty, grown-up flavor like beer or be closer to movie theater popcorn?—and not being able to field trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, we were left to our own Hogswart-trained brains to best recreate the warming drink.
What we settled on: a mixture of cream soda and butterscotch syrup (sold in the sundae supply section of your grocery store) topped with a special whipped cream garnish that has the ingredient that makes it, well, Butterbeer: butter!
That's right, you stir melted butter into whipped cream with some vanilla extract and a little sugar. It tastes exactly how it sounds: insanely delish. Honestly, the more melted butter, the better. Just think: What Would Harry Do?
