With our house elf _now missing_ (http://heatherbailey.typepad.com/heather_bailey/2009/07/candy-coated-roach-control.html) , it took us quite a few iterations before we discovered the perfect potion for this usually overly-sweet concoction. A hint of ginger and the sweetness of butterscotch combine to create a delightful and refreshing non-alcoholic drink, capable of making even Severus Snape smile. (http://heatherbailey.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452a63369e20115711662cf970c-popup) Butterbeer Recipe 12 oz. (one bottle) ginger beer 36 oz. (three bottles) cream soda 3 T butterscotch ice cream topping Thoroughly chill unopened ginger beer and cream soda in refrigerator until icy-cold. Refrigerate empty, glass pitcher as well. Once beverages are chilled, in a small mixing bowl or tall glass, stir 1-2 oz. Of cream soda into butterscotch topping till thoroughly combined. Pour all remaining soda into chilled pitcher. Quickly add butterscotch mixture to pitcher. Stir till just combined; do not over-stir. Pour over ice and serve immediately. Serves 6. For a frothy sparkle, dip the rim of each glass in corn syrup, pulling drips of syrup downward with a toothpick. Then dip each glass rim in a mixture of colored sugar. Before dipping, spread the corn syrup & sugar mixture each onto a separate, flat-bottomed plate. For an old-world, textured effect, mix fine, yellow sugar with coarser, gold sugar. Colored sugars are available at many grocery stores and craft chains. The sugars shown here are both from _Michael's_ (http://www.michaels.com/art/online/home) . Isaac & I went to a midnight showing of _The Half-Blood Prince_ (http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/harrypotterandthehalf-bloodprince/) with friends last night. It was amazing -- definitely my favorite HP movie so far -- BY FAR. We were surrounded by eight packed theatres of screaming, costumed teenagers. It was a sight. _http://heatherbailehttp://heahttp://heathhttp://heathhttp://heatherhttp://h eat_ (http://heatherbailey.typepad.com/heather_bailey/2009/07/butterbeer_recipe.html)
