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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
