• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• Dark Brown Sugar
• Granulated Sugar

How to Make Harry Potter Butter Beer

1. **Make the Butterscotch Syrup:**
2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup corn syrup, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3. Gently heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the butter and sugars are completely melted and dissolved.
4. Stir in 1/2 cup evaporated milk. Increase heat to medium, and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture bubbles slightly (do not boil).
5. Remove from heat and let cool completely. The syrup will thicken as it cools. If it becomes too thick, stir in a teaspoon of milk to loosen it.
6. (This makes enough butterscotch for two batches of butterbeer.)
7. **Make the Creamy Head:**
8. In a bowl, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon of the prepared butterscotch syrup.
9. Whisk until thickened but not stiff peaks.
10. **Assemble the Butterbeer:**
11. In a tall serving jug, combine 12 oz chilled ginger beer and half of the butterscotch syrup. Stir gently to combine.
12. Add 12 oz chilled cream soda and stir gently. Taste and add more butterscotch syrup if desired.
13. Pour the Butterbeer into pint glasses or mugs.
14. Top each serving with a generous spoonful of the creamy head mixture.
15. Serve immediately and enjoy!
