Has anyone made Hot Buttered Root Beer?

[Dan]

I listen to old radio programs and on an episode of Fibber McGee and Molly, Fibber talks about hot buttered root beer. Has anyone had this or tried it? I'm curious and want to try some but cannot find a recipe. My mom remembers it from childhood but never tried it.

I would bet that it is like hot buttered rum but substituting root beer for the rum.

Here is a simple recipe I found.....

 

Harry Potters Hot Butterbeer Recipe

 

12oz root beer

 1/8 cup butter

1/8 cup cream

 

1. melt butter

2. Pour root beer in a micro-wave safe glass and heat for 30 seconds or however long it take to get it moderately warm.

    Warning if it is warmed too much it won't fizz

3. Pour 1 tsp of butter into root beer a little at a time stirring constantly until well blended.

4. Gently stir in cream.

5. It may take a few time to determine just the right amount of butter and cream to make the perfect ButterBeer.

 

If you try this please let us know how it turned out.

Dick, here's where I listen to and download them: https://archive.org/details/oldtimeradio. Just put a search word in and see what pops up. They also have audio books and text documents/books. I downloaded all the Fibber shows as well as all the CBS Radio Mystery Theater. I don't watch TV (except for special occasions) so I put on these radio shows to unwind at the end of the day.
