Butterbeer

Keeping with the Harry Potter theme today, I had been thinking about concocting my own Butterbeer. I had seen several recipes online that looked ... less than amazing in my opinion (Con on guys, the best you can do is cream soda, butterscotch topping and whipped cream?) One recipe even called for two tablespoons of actual butter. Unmelted. It just asked you to stir it into the drink. (Note to the creator: No one wants to drink butter) Like, I know it has butter in the name, but that's probably not what Rowling was aiming for.

I gave up the search for a premade recipe and began thinking of making my own

So far I had thoughts about Pumpkin, Apple juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger ale and vanilla.

What did you imagine the drink to taste like when you read the books?

    There is a recipe for butterbeer at the bottom that looks a bit more complicated but maybe more worth it? I've never tried any recipe but it's supposed to be close to the one served at the Potter theme park in Orlando.
