Ingredients:
- 2 cups cream soda

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

- Make the whipped cream topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. You can do this by hand or with an electric mixer.
- Assemble the butterbeer: Pour the warm butterscotch mixture into mugs or glasses. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and drizzle with extra butterscotch syrup for added sweetness.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm, or let the butterbeer cool and serve it cold over ice for a refreshing version.
Optional:
- For an extra rich version, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the drink.
- For a warm winter treat, warm the cream soda and serve hot.
