Hot Buttered Rum
There is nothing better than a hot, creamy, delicious beverage to warm you up on a cold winter day. Hot buttered rum dates back to colonial days and was created as a spin off of a hot toddy. This recipe contains ice cream that makes the drink more silky and creamy than some of the recipe’s original versions.
What you will need:
To Make Cocktail:
Scoop ½ cup frozen batter mixture or either melted batter mixture into a mug. Add 1 to 2 ounces of dark rum (whichever you prefer).Add 8 ounces of boiling hot water and stir together until well mixed. Top off with whipped cream and dust with nutmeg. Add a cinnamon stick for a festive look if desired. Kick back, put your feet up and enjoy!
Batter mixture recipe yields 6 servings but can be doubled for 12 servings. Drink can also be made without rum for a non-alcohol version. In addition, hot apple cider can be substituted for hot water for another depth of flavor.
Tip: A card with Hot buttered rum recipe, a container of batter mixture, and a small bottle of rum make a great gift idea! You could even include a festive mug and a small jar of spices if feeling extra generous!
