I found this on the internet.

Homemade butterbeer
Start to finish: 1 hour (10 minutes active)
Servings: 4

1 cup light or dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
6 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
Four 12-ounce bottles cream soda

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 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.

I don't know if I'll try this recipe but it sure sounds good. I'll get to try the real thing for myself very soon!

Let us know what you think.

Wonder if we could make it an adult version with real rum instead of rum extract? I may need to experiment.

That sounds good! Though I have to say that after trying it at Universal, I would say you can just crack open a can of cream soda and it tastes exactly the same. The whipped cream on top is great though.

We made it the other night. It tastes kind of like a hot buttered rum to me. It was very sweet. The kids seem to like it though. One of my kids had his drink then most of my drink, then he didn't feel so good. Ha!
