Spiced Butterbeer-like Drink

Ever wonder what ale and butter could end up tasting like? Here's an alcoholic, butterbeer-like drink that could be fun to try out! The ale is really important for getting it right, so a nice, full-bodied, sweet ale is perfect. You could also go with an extra egg yolk if you want a heavier, possibly more creamy experience.
The butter also will rise up to the top because fat doesn't mix with water, but I don't find that it changes much with or without mixing it continually.
You will either love or feel completely apathetic about this spiced drink, so really, it's just a matter of giving it a go. Top off with whipped cream if you want a more impressive finish!

Recipe details
Ingredients
- 500 ml ale
- 0.3 inches ginger
- 1/6 tsp nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 3 cloves
- 1/4 brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/8 cup butter
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, grate in the ginger, add the nutmeg, salt, cloves, and ale. Bring up to a low simmer, then take off the heat.
- In the meantime, add the egg and sugar to a bowl and beat until paler in colour and a little fluffy.
- Melt the butter in a bowl in the microwave.
- When the ale has heated up enough, add a tablespoon of the ale to the egg mixture and mix to temper it (prevent scrambling).
- Continue to add a few more tablespoons and mix. Then, add the whole egg mixture to the pan with the ale. Mix, then add the melted butter into the pan and mix again.
- Strain into the glass you want to serve it in and sprinkle some nutmeg over.
- The butter will rise to the top, so mix occasionally when drinking, it shouldn't affect the drinking experience.
