[drink] Harry Potter's Butterbeer

Anyone who is familiar with the famous book series by J.K. Rowling would know this drink. Though in the books, the drink only exists in the so-called Wizarding World, many tried to bring Rowling's dream drink into real life. Here are 4 recipes to create a heart-warming butterbeer.


Ingredients
  • 1 cup (8 oz) club soda or cream soda
  • 1/2 cup (4 oz) butterscotch syrup (ice cream topping)
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
Directions
  • Measure butterscotch and butter into a 2 cup (16 oz) glass. Microwave on high for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes, or until syrup is bubbly and butter is completely incorporated. 
  • Stir and cool for 30 seconds, then slowly mix in club soda. Mixture will fizz quite a bit. 
  • Serve in two coffee mugs or small glasses; a perfectly warm Hogwarts treat for two!
From Table Spoon
Ingredients
  • 1 cup light or dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon rum extract
  • 4 12 ounce bottles cream soda
 Directions
  • In a small saucepan over medium, combine the brown sugar and water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook, stirring often, until the mixture reads 240 F on a candy thermometer.
  • Stir in the butter, salt, vinegar and 1/4 of the heavy cream. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the rum extract.
  • In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture and the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat until just thickened, but not completely whipped, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • To serve, divide the brown sugar mixture between 4 tall glasses (about 1/4 cup for each glass). Add 1/4 cup of cream soda to each glass, then stir to combine. Fill each glass nearly to the top with additional cream soda, then spoon the whipped topping over each.
From Harry Potter Theme Park
Ingredients
  • 10 oz of Cream Soda (1 & 1/4 cups)
  • 1 tbsp of Salted REAL Butter
  • 1/2 cup Butterscotch chips
  • 1/4 cup Original Coffee Mate Liquid Creamer 
Directions
  • Put the Butterscotch Chips and Butter in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds. Stir and Heat for another 30 seconds.  Now add your Creamer to the bowl.
  • Microwave in 30 Second increments again. Stirring each time.   It usually takes about 4 times (2 minutes) to get the right consistency.  Set your mixture aside.  The chips and butter should be a thick stir-able paste.
  • Heat Cream soda in the microwave for 90 seconds.  BE VERY CAREFUL!   Microwaves times vary.  Make sure not to over heat the Cream Soda or all of the fizz will be gone.
  • Pour Butterscotch mixture into heated Cream Soda.
  • Stir & Serve!

  • Heat in microwave for 1 minute. Remove and stir until butter has melted and incorporated into mixture. Meanwhile heat cream soda in another heatproof measuring cup for 1 minute 30 seconds.
  • Divide butterscotch mixture between 2 (10 to 12-ounce) mugs. Fill mugs with heated cream soda and stir thoroughly. 
  • Serve garnished with an old-fashioned butterscotch candy stick

[drink] Coca-Cola Recipe


Sorry. Of course, Stuffs You Love cannot give you the 'exact' recipe, purely because if we can, Coca-Cola will run out of business and that's gonna be no more London Olympic 2012.

We, however, can be sure of the good old Pemberton recipe:
  • Ingredients:
    • 1 oz (28 g) caffeine citrate
    • 3 oz (85 g) citric acid
    • 1 US fl oz (30 ml) vanilla extract
    • 1 US qt (946 ml; 33 imp fl oz) lime juice
    • 2.5 oz (71 g) "flavoring"
    • 30 lb (14 kg) sugar
    • 4 US fl oz (118.3 ml) powder extract of cocaine
    • 2.5 US gal (9.5 l; 2.1 imp gal) water
    • caramel sufficient
  • "Mix caffeine acid and lime juice in 1 quart boiling water add vanilla and flavoring when cool."
  • Flavoring (Merchandise 7X):
    • 1 qrt alcohol
    • 80 oil orange
    • 40 oil cinnamon
    • 120 oil lemon
    • 20 oil coriander
    • 40 oil nutmeg
    • 40 oil neroli
  • "Let stand 24 hours."

But, here are the list of what's in it by Yahoo! UK Lifestyle:
  • Fluid extract of Coca 3 drams USP
  • Citric acid 3 oz
  • Caffeine 1oz
  • Sugar 30 (it is unclear from the markings what quantity is required)
  • Water 2.5 gal
  • Lime juice 2 pints 1 qrt
  • Vanilla 1oz
  • Caramel 1.5oz or more to colour
  • 7X flavour (use 2oz of flavour to 5 gals syrup):
  • Alcohol 8oz
  • Orange oil 20 drops
  • Lemon oil 30 drops
  • Nutmeg oil 10 drops
  • Coriander 5 drops
  • Neroli 10 drops
  • Cinnamon 10 drops 
Though said that, the current recipe is changing as Coca-Cola is under suspicion of causing cancer.
