Hot Buttered Rum
Living in a city with four true seasons, as soon as the weather turns cold, I’m freezing all the time. I love making hot drinks to help keep me warm during the long cold winter. This sweet and creamy drink always puts me in a festive mood.
Butter Rum Batter
1 cup Butter softened
1 cup Brown sugar
3 Tbs Cinnamon
1Tbs Nutmeg
1 Tbs Cloves
1 tsp Vanilla
In the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, cream butter until it is light and fluffy.
Add in your brown sugar and mix until your batter changes in color. About 2 minuets.
Add in your spices and vanilla and mix until combines.
Add your batter to a container with a lid and store in the fridge for up to a month. (like it would really last that long)
To assemble your cocktail, you will add one heaping tablespoon of your batter to a mug. Add one Jigger (or 1.5oz) of spiced rum and top with hot water. Stir until your batter is completely dissolved. I like to top mine with whipped cream because why not!!! Dust with a little ground cinnamon and add a cinnamon stick as a garnish because we are fancy like that, and even though I am most likely in dirty PJ’s with some form of messy bun on my head. Now find a cozy spot to sit and enjoy!
