Not Harry’s Butter Beer
This is not a Harry Potter post. My #dothedont crew decided to create a new group post, the #dirtysodachallenge. This was based on a diabetes-inducing lineup of spiked soda drinks— see @what.i.drink.eat.see for the full list and description. I chose “buttery beer”, which includes root beer, butterscotch, and vanilla cream.

This eclectic recipe is the brainchild of my buddy @rogzor during one of our typical “hangout & mix up something interesting” nights. The premise came about when we were discussing potential uses for jalapeño shochu. Michael proposed treating it like a vermouth, and adding syrup to make it more like a sweet vermouth for a very… unusual Manhattan riff.
