Butterbeer at Starbucks!

Accio Butterbeer!

Starbucks Butterbeer

I've been lemming to try Butterbeer since I started reading Harry Potter but it's hard to get ahold of it here in the muggle world.  I searched for recipes in the net but where the hell can I find cream soda in the Philipinnes???

Thankfully, Butterbeer is now part of Starbucks' "Secret Menu" thanks to my officemate and friend for sharing the recipe from Dalebacar.com.

Ask your Starbucks' barista to magically whip the following (for grande):

A Creme Frappuccino base. Don’t skimp on the fat by asking for skim or 2% milk as whole milk is required for the right consistency.
Add 3 pumps of caramel syrup.
Add 3 pumps of toffee nut syrup.
Top with caramel drizzle.

Enjoy!  Look how happy the cast of Harry Potter while drinking Butterbeer.

I actually expected the drink to be very sweet but it's not and also couldn't taste the toffee nut syrup and charge us (yeah I ordered with my 3 friends and officemates) extra P20 so we paid P190 for our drink (others only pay P170).

Because of my excitement I immediately sip my drink, it's too thick I should have let the crushed ice melt first!

Still, I enjoyed my Butterbeer and for a moment felt Hogsmead :)  Excited to try the real thing.

Thanks for reading. Till then. Bye
