Not Harry’s Butter Beer
By John Berens,
This is not a Harry Potter post. My #dothedont crew decided to create a new group post, the #dirtysodachallenge. This was based on a diabetes-inducing lineup of spiked soda drinks. I chose “buttery beer”, which includes root beer, butterscotch, and vanilla cream.

In order to tone down the sweetness, I first interpreted “butterscotch” as “buttered scotch” (i.e. butter fat-washed a blended scotch). Yum, right? The root beer comes from a rich root beer syrup (see Instagram post 4/24/23 for recipe) and some cardamom bitters (which bring a bit of “cola” flavor). Last, I added a touch of salt to a homemade vanilla cream. While the drink is still on the decadent side, it’s not overly sweet. And dang, that cream is luscious— worth giving a try in its own right.
Ingredients:
- Butter-washed Blended Scotch
- Rich Root Beer Syrup
Instructions:
First, make the vanilla cream:
1/4 cup heavy cream
0.75oz simple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
5-6 dashes vegan foamer
\\\\
Use a handheld frother to whip until beautifully creamy.
.
Then, build drink with whiskey, syrup, and bitters. Stir until chilled, strain over large ice and top with cream.
