Why This Dish Is Hard To Resist
This drink combines creamy sweetness with a fizzy, magical twist. It’s perfect for fans of cozy, comforting flavors and adds a fun new take on a classic favorite. Everyone will enjoy its rich, buttery taste and smooth finish.
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!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular sugar instead of brown sugar?
Brown sugar adds a rich, caramel flavor, but you can use regular sugar; just expect a slightly different taste.
What can I use if I don’t have a candy thermometer?
Test the syrup by dropping a bit into cold water; it should form a soft ball that’s malleable but holds shape.
Can I substitute rum extract with something else?
Yes, vanilla extract can be used, but it will change the flavor slightly.
How long should I whip the cream for the topping?
Whip for about 2-3 minutes until soft peaks form; don’t overwhip or it will become too stiff.
Is it necessary to use non-plastic bowls for whipping cream?
Using glass or metal bowls helps the cream whip better and stay cold, but plastic can work if chilled well.
Can I make the syrup ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the syrup in advance and store it in the fridge; just let it cool before use.
What if I want a less sweet drink?
Use less syrup and more cream soda when assembling to reduce sweetness.
Can this recipe be made dairy-free?
You can try using dairy-free butter and cream substitutes, but texture and flavor may vary.
