anyone whos read any of the harry potter books should have heard of this it turns out its a real tudor era drink (i'm looking for that recipe atm)

but heres a quick and dirty version
Makes 2 quarts.

1 cup butterscotch schnapps
7 cups cream soda (almost one 2 liter bottle)

id recommend you pour it over some vanilla ice cream to get the cloudy/foamy effect that it had in the movies

Oh just found a Virgin version

* 1 cup club soda
* 1/2 cup butterscotch sundae sauce
* 1/2 tablespoon butter

# Microwave butter and topping in a 2 cup glass on high 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, till syrup is bubbly and butter is melted.
#
2
Stir and cool 30 seconds.
#
3
Slowly mix in soda (mixture will fizz quite a bit).
#
4
Serve in 2 coffee mugs or small glasses.

Actually sounds somewhat yummy. Even though I don't like cream soda, I might have to give this whirl.

actually in the books it does have alcohol in it jut a small amount
(winky the house elf gets drunk on it in book 4)

I always thought that was because she was drinking something BESIDES butterbeer

I post the virgin version in case there are underage wizards in the house you know how Humorless the FBM (federal bureau of magic) is about that sort of thing

I thought Winky got drunk... because she's a house elf. I don't think it was because there was alcohol, I think it's just the way something in the drink mixes with elf body chemistry. I could be wrong.

ok some quick knowledge here Butterscotch is partly alcohol even the syrup you buy in stores and the candies

Butterscotch flavoring you buy in the stores is 35% alcohol Butterscotch schnapps is 15% Alcohol

most butter scotch probably has less booze in it than a handful of candy corn but keep in mind 1 House elves are Tiny and 2 Winky was drinking a shitload of it

Well thats interesting, I never knew about that

Neitherspace · 2009-08-05 03:51:48

still looking but in the mean time

Colbert Bump
1 oz cherry brandy
1.5 OZ Republican gin
.5oz lemon juice
half a can of club soda

just watched David Wondrich mix this on the colbert report IDK if it IS a cherry bounce or just Based on the cherry bounce the author in question wasn't clear on that

I don't drink as a rule but this sounds good

Greeting

Many flavoring extracts have alccohol in their mix as part of processing,, it usually evapirates during cooking - The things you learn watching the Food Network..

My father told me that during Prohibition in his small town sales of Vanilla extract skyrocketed. The Vanilla was 35% alchohol, 70 proof.....

So if its not all cooked out you could "maybe" get a bit tipsy just from the flavoring

actually my dad told me that 2 Warlord switching to extracts was how some distilleries stayed afloat durring prohabition
