For a non-alcoholic version, ensure your rum extract is alcohol-free. Adjust the amount of syrup to your liking for a sweeter or less sweet beverage. Make the brown sugar syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Transport yourself to a wizarding world with this enchanting Butterbeer recipe! A rich, creamy concoction with a hint of magic, perfect for cozy nights and festive gatherings.
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. (2 minutes)
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and cook, without stirring, until it reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount dropped into cold water forms a soft ball. (8-10 minutes)
Remove from heat and whisk in the butter, salt, cider vinegar, and 1/4 cup of heavy cream until smooth. (2 minutes)
Let the mixture cool completely. Once cooled, stir in the rum extract. (30 minutes)
In a non-plastic bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar-cream syrup with the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. (2-3 minutes)
To assemble, pour about 1/4 cup of the brown sugar-cream mixture into a tall glass. Gently stir in about 1/4 of a can/bottle of cream soda. Top with the remaining cream soda and a generous dollop of whipped cream.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 servings. Serve immediately and enjoy the magic! (5 minutes)
