Hot Buttered Rum Recipe
- Yield:12 servings
- Time:5 mins show details
I'm not much of one for dessert drinks, so this recipe hews closer to the middle of the range, with the requisite butter and sugar but with a little spice to help liven things up. By creaming the butter with the sugar and spices you can also better avoid that dreaded oil slick appearance, and when choosing a rum, go for something big and rich.
The Demerara rums from El Dorado work wonders, as does a robust Jamaican rum like Coruba, or something dark and mellow like Zaya or Zacapa. This recipe makes enough batter for several drinks and keeps well in the fridge.
