What’s Cooking Wednesday: Homemade Butterbeer Recipe Review
Last Wednesday, I shared a simple Butterbeer recipe that only requires a few ingredients. Today, after putting the recipe to the test, I’m here to share my thoughts on how closely it compares to the original drink served at Universal!
In terms of taste, I had to substitute butterscotch syrup with caramel syrup, which altered the flavor slightly compared to the original drink. Still, I would say that the recipe is otherwise spot-on! The caramel flavor wasn’t overwhelming, with the cream soda flavor providing the drink’s main flavor profile.
One issue I noticed with the recipe came from its topping. Although it has a consistency somewhat similar to the real drink’s topping and floats above the soda, it doesn’t really mix into the drink until the soda portion is finished. Rather, it ends up serving as a “final treat” of the drink, as it is noticeably (and accurately) sweeter than the drink itself.
In conclusion, I think that this is a great recipe for anyone wanting to experience the signature Butterbeer taste from home! It doesn’t require much preparation or expensive ingredients, and can be put together for a group of four in about ten minutes.
If you’re a fan of the drink (or want to try something new), I would highly recommend attempting the recipe for yourself! My personal ranking is an 8.5/10.
