Butter Beer

Ever since we went to Hogwarts (okay, okay, it was the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, whatever), my husband Jason has been obsessed with perfecting a homemade boozy version of the butter beer they sell at the park.  We've tried lots of different variations (never the one with actual pudding in it) and he thinks he's hit on a very close approximation.

Here's the recipe:

1 shot butterscotch schnapps
1/2 shot spiced rum/vanilla flavored vodka
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
1 bottle of IBC cream soda

Scoop the ice cream into a schooner or large mug.  Mash up the ice cream until it is soft.  Pour liquor over ice cream and stir it around.  Slowly pour in the cream soda and be prepared for the foam!  Enjoy!
