Went on a wild goose chase today trying to satisfy my #butterbeer craving.The end result was an amazing and simple homemade drink, almost as good as the one sold at Universal Studios. I went to several stores looking for butterscotch syrup and it wasn't carried by ANYONE. Finally ended up at Michael's where I bought Vanilla Butter emulsion. This ended up being far better tasting and far more authentic of a flavor for the drink. The cashier was so kind and gave me a coupon, so the bottle came to around $3. The butterbeer is simply made by adding the emulsion flavoring to chilled cream soda-- traditional cream soda will do. For the cream, rather than making it myself, I bought whipped topping and mixed it with softened vanilla bean icecream and added a few drops of the emulsion flavoring. Super easy. I'm going to try the alcoholic version tomorrow by adding one shot of dark rum. The most challenging thing about this recipe is having the patience to waste time running around town gathering the right ingredients. #HarryPotter #magicaldrinks #homemade #homemadebutterbeer #hogsmeade
