Description

A delightful, creamy, and frothy Homemade Butterbeer Drink that combines rich butterscotch flavors with a fizzy, smooth finish. Perfect for cozy gatherings, themed parties, or a comforting beverage any time of year. This non-alcoholic, family-friendly recipe is quick and easy to prepare, delivering magic in minutes with simple pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk or plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup soda water or sparkling apple cider
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Butterscotch Base: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar until the mixture becomes bubbly and caramel-like, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract for balanced sweetness.
  2. Combine Milk and Butterscotch: Slowly whisk the butterscotch syrup into the milk until fully incorporated and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps and the aroma is rich.
  3. Add the Fizz: Gently pour in soda water or sparkling apple cider to add light fizz, stirring carefully to maintain bubbles and a refreshing texture.
  4. Whip the Cream Topping: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spoon generously on top of each glass to create a frothy, creamy cap that completes the drink.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the drink into your favorite mug or glass, top with the whipped cream, and optionally sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or drizzle extra butterscotch syrup for garnish. Sip and savor the enchantment.

Notes

  • Use fresh vanilla and quality butter to enhance flavor complexity.
  • Keep the butterscotch syrup warm but not boiling to prevent a burnt taste.
  • Chill your glasses to keep whipped cream from melting too quickly when serving chilled.
  • Whip cream gently just until soft peaks form for the best light, airy texture.
  • Adjust brown sugar amount to suit your personal taste preference, from subtly sweet to rich.
