Ingredients
  

  • 48 ounces cream soda
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract
  • 4 tablespoons butter (browned)
  • 4 tablespoons caramel

Instructions
 

For the Browned Butter

  • Place the butter in a small fry pan.
  • Melt over low heat, swirling occasionally, and continue to cook until the butterfat solids turn light golden brown.
  • Remove from the heat immediately, the butterfat solids will burn easily!

For the Butterbeer

  • Combine the cream and cream soda in a saucepan.
  • Warm over medium heat until steaming.
  • Add the rum extract and browned butter. Whisk until well combined.
  • Drizzle the caramel around the edge of the mugs.
  • Divide the cream soda mixture between the four mugs.
  • Top with whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

  • The browned butter is crucial! Watch it carefully - when it smells nutty and turns golden brown, it's ready.
  • Warm your cream soda mixture gently. If it boils, it will lose some of its fizz.
  • For an extra magical presentation, drizzle some caramel on top of the whipped cream too.
  • Serve in clear glass mugs to show off those beautiful layers and caramel drizzle.
