1 cup (8 oz) club soda or cream soda
½ cup (4 oz) butterscotch syrup (ice cream topping)
½ tablespoon butter


Step 1: Measure butterscotch and butter into a 2 cup (16 oz) glass. Microwave on high for 1 to 1½ minutes, or until syrup is bubbly and butter is completely incorporated.

Step 2: Stir and cool for 30 seconds, then slowly mix in club soda. Mixture will fizz quite a bit.

Step 3: Serve in two coffee mugs or small glasses; a perfectly warm Hogwarts treat for two!

ETA: According to the Harry Potter Lexicon at The Leaky Cauldron, JKR was asked by Bon Appetit magazine how butterbeer is made and what it tastes like. She responded: "I made it up. I imagine it to taste a little bit like less-sickly butterscotch." So the Mugglenet recipe would seem to be right on track.
I wonder if they make sugar free butterscotch sauce... Though I think I'd prefer the Post's version. (I'll just give extra insulin...)
