Our butterbeer recipe is inspired by JK Rowling’s Harry Potter books – a wizard drink often imbibed at The Three Broomsticks Inn. We’ve made ours not so child-friendly with a good glug of toffee vodka.

Method

Put the advocaat in a pint glass with toffee vodka and a few drops of the yellow colouring.
Coarsely grate the ginger into a clean J-cloth or square of muslin, gather up the cloth around it and squeeze some of the juice into the glass (how much is up to you – we like it quite fiery).
Top with the ginger beer and serve while there’s still a head on top.
