Oh and McCormick state that their imitation rum is 35% alcohol on their website but also states it has no significant nutritional value ... Yay

Rum extract isn't actually rum... It is an artificial flavoring that only tastes like it... No alcohol involved.

I had someone pick the ingredients up for me, and they managed to pick the CHEAPEST CREAM SODA POSSIBLE. Needless to say, the beer part turned out bad, but I continue to put the foamy stuff on my coffee in the morning.

Yum!! Great idea for our Harry Potter-fan kids. Thanks!! :)

I'm totally making this and putting it in my butter beer mug from Hogsmead (Universal Studios). It was amazing there, but this is probably just as good and $15 cheaper.

In the uk. Our cream soda is clear. Thinking this isn't right. Asda (now owned by walmart so sells more american products) sells Carters root beer. Would that be similar to A&W? @alicesmith I wouldn't use ginger beer. Not the same. Rum extract in the baking aisle. Marshmallow I found in the kosher section. Butter extract online and the rest is simples.

Petitchou Fleur

This is a nice little recipe but is not how butter beer that the Harry Potter books are based on correctly made. If you look it up on Google, butter beer is a traditional old English recipe that uses ale and butter. This recipe sounds good but is more akin to a cola float than actual butter beer.

Emma Rushin

Oooooooo yipppeeeeeeeee! I've so wanted to try this since Harry potter came out and now I can....all thanks to you! Thank you sweetie.

Would using cola be very wrong? Just don't like root beer. But this sounds yummy.

For UK people: You can get soft marshmallow and A&W Soda Cream from most American Stores like Fizzy Lips, Butter Extract online. Just use real rum and whipped cream in any supermarket.

Jane From KY

Sounds delicious! Thank you.

Adam Spencer

Does anyone have a UK version of the ingredients list?

Adam Spencer last year

Megan Fraser

I reckon melted butter might work for us British folk? And the rest you can get in a supermarket I think. Cream soda? Yip. Rum extract? Definitely. Asda are selling more and more American products because of walmart so shouldn't be too difficult.

Wonder if real rum could be subbed for the imitation rum flavoring, and if so, in what amounts? Thanks for this. It's a great idea!

It's imitation rum extract! Just tell them that and they should be ok with it silly! It's only imitation!
