Adult Butterbeer Recipe + Kid-Friendly Butterbeer Version

Tis the season for butterbeer! We fell in love with butterbeer several years ago after reading the Harry Potter series. Then once we visited Universal Studio’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park, we had to have butterbeer several times throughout the day. We’ve tried a few homemade butterbeer recipes, but it was missing something, liqueur.

Any good Butterbeer worth its hocus-pocus starts with a good cream soda. Add a few more ingredients, and you’ll be drinking butterbeer and practicing your best spells just in time for the spookiest time of the year!

Next, add a tablespoon of Irish Cream simple syrup and a tablespoon of Butterscotch, and a bit of pure vanilla extract. Then add ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a mug and topped with Butterscotch whipped cream, then serve. Fall has never tasted better!
