Ingredients
  

For the Butterbeer Base
  • 2 liters cream soda, chilled Choose a high-quality brand for the best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch syrup, plus more for drizzling

Preparation

  2. Spoon a generous dollop of the whipped cream over the top of each glass.
  3. Drizzle extra butterscotch syrup over the whipped cream and sprinkle crushed butterscotch chips on top.
  4. Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon.

Notes

Serve with snacks like gingerbread cookies, mini pumpkin muffins, or buttery popcorn for a complete experience. Store leftover butterbeer base in the fridge for up to 3 days, and avoid freezing.
