Description

This is the perfect cocktail for Harry Potter and Bourbon fans! It combines all the flavors in butterbeer and condenses them into an old fashioned. It's made with bourbon, cream soda, butterscotch, black walnut bitters, and whipped cream, making it the perfect sweet cocktail for fall!


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the syrup:

  • 1 12 ounce bottle of cream soda
  • 1/4 cup butterscotch topping (can be substituted for caramel sauce)

For the cocktail:

  • 1 1/2 ounces bourbon
  • 1 ounce butterbeer syrup
  • 1 dash black walnut bitters
  • 1 ounce heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Step 1: Start by heating 1 bottle of cream soda in a small pot for 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup butterscotch topping. Let cool.

Step 2: Add 1 1/2 ounces of bourbon, 1 ounce of the cream soda mixture, and 1 dash of walnut bitters to a rocks glass with ice. Stir to combine.

Step 3: add 1 ounce of whipping cream to a mason jar or cocktail shaker and beat or shake until thickened. It shouldn't be too thick and should still be pourable. 

Step 4: Pour the cream on top of the cocktail, dust with edible glitter and cinnamon, and garnish with a star anise.
