Ingredients
Scale
Buttery Syrup
- 4 tablespoons plant-based butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
Frothy Topping
- 1 cup plant-based cream
Drink Base
- 3 cups carbonated water
Optional Garnishes
- Ground cinnamon (natural), for sprinkling
- Small piece of smoked turkey bacon, skewered
Instructions
- Prepare the Buttery Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine plant-based butter, brown sugar (natural), vanilla extract (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), and a pinch of ground cinnamon (natural). Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and everything blends into a smooth, golden syrup.
- Chill the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature. This helps the flavors meld and ensures smooth mixing with cold ingredients later.
- Whip the Plant-Based Cream: Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the plant-based cream until soft peaks form, creating a frothy texture essential for the Butterbeer’s signature top layer.
- Combine Syrup with Carbonated Water: In a large pitcher, gradually stir the cooled syrup into carbonated water. Mix gently to preserve the fizz while evenly blending the buttery, sweet flavor.
- Assemble and Serve: Pour the syrup and carbonated water mixture into glasses. Top each with a generous amount of whipped plant-based cream. Finish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon (natural) for a charming touch.
Notes
- Use cold ingredients to keep the fizz lively and cream whipping perfectly.
- Stir carbonated water gently to retain bubbles; add syrup carefully.
- Whip the plant-based cream just before serving for best froth.
- Adjust sweetness by tasting the syrup before mixing.
- Serve immediately for the freshest and fizzier Butterbeer.
