INGREDIENTS:

1 Tomato, Sliced
Fresh Mozzarella (6 small pieces)
6 Green Olives, sliced in half
6 Basil Leaves

Ingredients:

2 cups light or dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons water
1 1/2 Sticks butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup heavy cream, divided
1 teaspoon rum extract
8 12-ounce bottles cream soda

In a small saucepan over medium, combine the brown sugar and water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook, stirring often, until the mixture reads 240 F on a candy thermometer.

Stir in the butter, salt, vinegar and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the rum extract.

In a medium bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture and the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat until just thickened, but not completely whipped, about 2 to 3 minutes.

To serve, divide the brown sugar mixture between 8 tall glasses (about 1/4 cup for each glass). Add 1/4 cup of cream soda to each glass, then stir to combine. Fill each glass nearly to the top with additional cream soda, then spoon the whipped topping over each.
