I was bored out of my mind and bouncing around TWoP ...

[apocalypsos]

... and I was reminded of this recipe for butterbeer that got linked over there a couple of Top Chef recaps ago. I don't have anybody to drink it with and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it enough to finish it by myself, but I really REALLY want to save the recipe. Hey, you never know, right? ;)

Besides, I figured some of you might appreciate it as well.

Butterbeer

Makes 2 quarts.

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

Carefully mix just before serving, adding the schnapps to the soda thenstirring gently to mix well, or the fizz will dissipate too soon.

That sounds really neat, but is obviously not a canadian recipe. Our cream soda is generally bright pink, and somehow I just don't picture Butterbeer being pink.

Yeah, US cream soda is usually a very pale tan/brown (not unlike ginger ale).
