Do you have a recipe for a not frozen butter beer?
Wow! This was a great find.Thank you! I’m already hitting the breaks on the wheels that are turning out of control on a warm version.lol after ask it’s a lil chilli out. I dint know how your fairing in this direction I think simply washing the cream soda and using whole milk or your fav substitute with added vanilla flavoring…hum not thought they after all the wheels started out if control lol will think on it how to see your warm version asap! God bless & have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS~
Would so love to make this but unfortunately we don’t have cream soda in Australia
Schwepps ‘traditional creamy soda’, Kirk’s Sno-Drop, Woodroofe’s Sno-Top, Golden Circle, etc — there’s a lot of them! Anything with a nice robust ‘butter vanilla’ flavor to it would work good.
I’m Australian (born & bred, 35 years!!) & have been enjoying cream soda since I was a little kid??? Schweppes traditional cream soda would work best in this recipe (the brown cans) because of it’s rich vanilla taste.
Yes we do it’s called creaming soda we also have ice cream soda 😉
What are you talking about? Kirks makes creaming soda in australia. Its stocked in all coles and woolworths.
When you say “butterscotch topping”, what do you mean?
I believe its the butterscotch syrup you would put on a sundae (instead of caramel or fudge syrup). It should be sold next to ice cream toppings, schmuckers brand makes one; in the supermarket.
Sounds delish, but can you please tell me what imitation butter extract is and where I might be able to find it? I’ve never heard of it. Thanks!
Hi Bev – It is similar to imitation vanilla extract – it just replicates the taste. You can get it by the spices – here is a link to see a picture or to purchase on Amazon – http://rstyle.me/n/vyd4wq5te
OMG…every time I stumble onto something amazing on Pinterest; it was pinned by you. This looks amazing I will most definitely be making this in the summer.
You are so sweet – glad you are liking the things I am pinning!!
Would love the hot version!!! Please post. This sounds just like it only served warm. But I’m having fond memories due to our recent visit only days ago for the first time! Need. Butter. Beer. Now!:)
Thanks for doing all that research!
Is the butterscotch topping going into new the blender or is it just for drizzling on top? Sounds so yummy I want to get I think right
BOTH! Add it to the mix and drizzle at the end!!
If I’m making butterbeers for 4 kiddos and at least one parent, should I double this? I’m not seeing a “Serves #” anywhere…. THANK YOU!!!
Hi Michelle – I would for sure double it.
Any good ideas for a cream soda in India ?
The recipe is lovely and I just can’t wait to try it out !
Is cream soda the same as ice cream soda?
No, use A&W cream soda.
Cream soda is a sweet carbonated soft drink, often flavored with vanilla.
Ice cream soda is starts with approximately 1 oz of chocolate syrup, then several scoops of chocolate ice cream in a tall glass. Unflavored carbonated water is added until the glass is filled and the resulting foam rises above the top of the glass
Do u have the adult version yet? This sounds amazing
Have you posted the hot butterbeer recipe? I tried the search option and didn’t see it. TIA
I haven’t but am WAY overdue!! It is on my list!
Even further overdue, now.
Thank you! Just made this for my kids before heading out to see Fantastic Beasts- delicious & easy and very close to the Universal Butterbeer. So fun – everyone loved it!
how many does this serve????
It doesn’t have rum in it because if it did thin I wouldn’t have been able to get it and it was non frozen cream soda.
