Helpful Tips For Cooking

- Use cold ingredients to help the foam hold better on top.
- Whip the cream just until soft peaks form to keep it light and airy.
- Add the butterscotch syrup slowly and taste as you go to balance sweetness.

Step 1

Combin the brown sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it come to a gentle boil, then cook until it reaches about 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer. You can test it by dropping a little syrup into cold water—it should form a soft ball. Once it’s ready, stir in the butter, salt, cider vinegar, and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Take the pan off the heat and let the mixture cool completely before adding the rum extract.

Step 2

While the syrup cools, grab a non-plastic bowl and mix 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar syrup with the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to whip it until soft peaks form, which usually takes a couple of minutes.

Step 3

To assemble, pour about 1/4 cup of the syrup mixture into a tall glass, then stir in roughly a quarter of a bottle of cream soda. Fill the rest of the glass with the cream soda, then finish with a generous dollop of the whipped cream on top. Repeat this for three more glasses, and you’re all set to enjoy!

What To Serve With This Dish

Serve chilled in clear mugs to show off the creamy foam topping. It pairs wonderfully with warm cookies or a slice of spiced cake for a delightful treat. This drink is great for parties or quiet evenings by the fire.

Storing Food Safely

If you have leftovers, store the drink in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Keep the whipped topping separate and add fresh foam just before serving to maintain the best texture and flavor.
