It cannot get any simpler than this!

Recipe #2
Just as easy as Recipe #1 but for adults.
Ingredients:
1 cup butterscotch schnapps
7 cups cream soda (2 liter bottle)
Directions:
1. Carefully mix just before serving, adding the schnapps to the soda then stirring gently to mix well, or the fizz will dissipate too soon

3. Stir and cool for 30 seconds
4. Slowly mix in club soda. Mixture will fizz quite a bit
5: Serve
Recipe #4
Similar to Recipe #1 but without the butterscotch flavor. Not sure good this one will taste.

2 teaspoons of butter

SLIGHTLY MORE COMPLEX RECIPES
Recipe #5
This one is not that difficult but a little more work. It is more of a flavored non-chocolate cocoa.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups of milk
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1 teaspoon of butter
or
2 1/2 cups of milk
1/2 cup of butterscotch chips
Directions:
1. Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat
2. Add the rest of the ingredients
3. Blend with a mixer to make it frothy
3. Bring the mixture almost to boiling
4. Serve
Recipe #6
Similar to Recipe #5 but the addition of marshmallows and optional ingredients make this unique.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup Milk
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon water
marshmallows
butter
optional:
cinnamon
scotch
Directions:
1. Put the sugar and water in a pan over high heat and stir with a wooden spoon
2. Stop stirring once bubbles start to form and the sugar has melted and caramelized
3. Once it begins to brown, shake the pan so it cooks and browns evenly
3. As soon as it removed from the heat, pour all the milk in at once (caramel will harden due to the addition of the milk, but it will gradually mix in)
4. Put the pan back on medium heat, and stir until small bubbles are forming and the milk is barely at a simmer.
5. Pour it into a mug, top with butter and marshmallows,
6. Stir well before drinking (add optional cinnamon or scotch)
7. Serve
