Hot Buttered Rum

Ingredients

Batter:
2 sticks of butter at room temp
2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground cardamom
1 tsp. ground cloves

Drink:
1 & 1/2 ounces (1 shot) dark rum
1 c. boiling water
1 tbsp batter

Preparation

Mix the butter, sugar and spices together until combined.

Combine rum, water and batter in a mug
*Optional: top with whipped cream

Storage:
Roll into a log in plastic wrap
or spoon out tablespoon sized dollops onto waxed paper
Refrigerate or freeze.

Since I hate whiskey this drink is definitely on the top of the hot alcoholic winter drinks list. It’s really easy to make and since the batter is just mainly butter it lasts a pretty long time in the fridge and even longer in the freezer.

For those coming in directly, here is a link to the recipe for the orange and chocolate biscotti in the background.
