{Freebie} Harry Potter Butterbeer labels + Recipe

We have had many requests on how to purchase our graphics from our recent Harry Potter Party beyond our etsy invites. We have decided to share the butterbeer labels and the recipe to make your very own butterbeer. We have included 2 recipe's. One is an easy version we created and the one many children preferred. The other is the long version...but is similar to that of the one @ the wizarding world.  Enjoy!

Recipe ButterBeer (Easy - by Serendipity Creative):

Makes 1

Ingredients:

1 bottle of cream soda (We like Jones)

1/2 cup butterscotch syrup (We like Smucker's squeezable)

1/2 tablespoon butter

Directions:

1. Measure butterscotch and butter into a microwave safe container.

2. Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until syrup is bubbly and butter is completely melted

3. Stir and cool for 30 seconds

4. Slowly mix in cream soda from bottle. Mixture will fizz quite a bit. Slowly stir to combine.

5. Pour mixture back into bottle

6. Chill for an hour in fridge or serve warm

if desired squirt whipped cream into each bottle...the kids at the party enjoyed this! It got a little silly. We used coolwhip spray brand.

*This version is pleasant...and unlike the recipe below you could drink the whole portion. :)

Recipe ButterBeer (copycat wizarding world):

Servings: 4

1 cup light or dark brown sugar

2 tablespoons water

6 tablespoon butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar

3/4 cup heavy cream, divided

1/2 teaspoon rum extract

Four 12-ounce bottles cream soda

In a small saucepan over medium, combine the brown sugar and water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook, stirring often, until the mixture reads 240 F on a candy thermometer.

Stir in the butter, salt, vinegar and 1/4 heavy cream. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the rum extract.

In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture and the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat until just thickened, but not completely whipped, about 2 to 3 minutes.

To serve, divide the brown sugar mixture between 4 tall glasses (about 1/4 cup for each glass). Add 1/4 cup of cream soda to each glass, then stir to combine. Fill each glass nearly to the top with additional cream soda, then spoon the whipped topping over each.

*Note this is a rich drink and you will likely only need a small amount.*
