Harry Potter fans eat your heart out! I've stumbled across an unofficial recipe for butterbeer, a non-alcoholic beverage that appears over and over in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!
It's magical and wonderful. According to author J.K. Rowling, butterbeer has a very similar taste to butterscotch. Here's what you'll need.... 12 oz. (one bottle) ginger beer To make it... Thoroughly chill unopened ginger beer and cream soda in refrigerator until icy-cold. Refrigerate empty, glass pitcher as well. Once beverages are chilled, in a small mixing bowl or tall glass, stir 1-2 oz. of cream soda into butterscotch topping till thoroughly combined. Pour all remaining soda into chilled pitcher. Quickly add butterscotch mixture to pitcher. Stir till just combined; do not over-stir. Pour over ice and serve immediately. Serves 6. For a frothy sparkle, dip the rim of each glass in corn syrup, pulling drips of syrup downward with a toothpick. Then dip each glass rim in a mixture of colored sugar. Before dipping, spread the corn syrup & sugar mixture each onto a separate, flat-bottomed plate. Thanks to Heather Bailey. |
