There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
This is a plan! Make popcorn and try to make butter beer.
Well, I've already sold one niece on it--before the 6th movie came out, she and her housemates apparently watched the first five movies in one day.
But I have no interest in butterbeer: it sounds kind of disgusting, as does pumpkin juice.
In my head it's the same thing as cream soda.
Cream soda with 3% alcohol? Huh. That sounds less revolting, although I always preferred root beer to cream soda.
Like butterscotch but milder, somehow.

I'm actually intrigued by pumpkin juice! It sounds like it could be good! Every time they mention it, I wonder if it's a real thing because I want to try it. Butterbeer sounds terrible, though.

Hm, I could see that. I don't like butterscotch, though, so I'll stick with pumpkin juice.
Yeah, I always thought of butterbeer as like, cream soda meets butterscotch schnapps. Haven't though of pumpkin juice...I like pumpkin soup fine, but seems it'd be rather smoothie-esque for juice.
The butterbeer they serve at the Harry Potter Universal park in Florida is delicious--somewhere between cream soda and butterscotch, with whipped cream on top. So good it made me wish they'd market it nationally.

So: Virgil's Cream Soda plus Routin's Butterscotch Syrup = Butterbeer.
Butterbeer always sounded painfully yum to me (I always imagined it pretty much just how -t and meara described), and now Polgara is not helping with the craving one tiny bit.
Pumpkin juice, less yum, though I have had some excellent pumpkin smoothies (they tasted like pumpkin pie ice cream milkshakes).
There's also the unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook which apparently has a butterbeer recipe.
But after Polgara's report I'm content with my suggestion.
