Notes
There is no alcohol in this, nor in the original wizarding drink. But if you do want to spice this up a bit you may want to go with the vanilla-caramel theme. So butterscotch schnapps, vanilla vodka, spiced rum maybe ?
Tips & Tricks
For a creamier and richer drink, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the whipped cream for a warm spice note.
