Cocktail Colin says:
Butterbeer is a whimsical, rich cream-based concoction that brings to life a fictional potion from the wizarding world, utilizing butterscotch schnapps and a touch of vanilla to enchant the senses. The added egg white froths into a magical mix ideal for those nostalgic for the halls of Hogwarts.

FAQ's
![INGREDIENT_SUBSTITUTIONS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/ingredient_swap.avif)
Can I substitute butterscotch schnapps in a Butterbeer cocktail?
Yes, you can substitute butterscotch schnapps with a combination of butterscotch syrup and a neutral spirit like vodka to maintain the alcohol content. Alternatively, for a non-alcoholic version, just use butterscotch syrup.
![PREPARATION_TECHNIQUES](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/preparation.avif)
Is there a special technique required to mix the egg white into the Butterbeer cocktail?
Yes. To properly incorporate the egg white, it's recommended to perform a 'dry shake' first, which means shaking the egg white with the other ingredients without ice to create a frothy texture. Then, add ice and shake again to chill the drink.
![SERVING_SUGGESTIONS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/serving.avif)
What's the best way to serve a Butterbeer cocktail for a thematic party?
For a thematic party, consider serving the Butterbeer in mugs or steins to emulate a fantasy tavern setting. Adding a cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of edible gold dust can enhance the magical feel.
![NON_ALCOHOLIC_VARIATIONS](https://makemeacocktail.com/img/faq-icons/mocktail.avif)
How can I make a non-alcoholic version of Butterbeer?
To make a non-alcoholic version of Butterbeer, substitute the butterscotch schnapps with butterscotch syrup and omit the egg white to avoid raw egg. Use cream soda instead of the cream to maintain the fizzy and creamy texture.
