Notes

  • HOW TO SERVE YOUR DRINKS!
  • You can pour the drinks into mugs and call it a day, but there a few fun ways to garnish your drinks to make them extra special!
  • HOW TO MAKE HOT BUTTERED RUM FOR A CROWD
  • If you’re serving more than four people there’s an easy way to make a big batch!
  • HOW TO MAKE THE BATTER AHEAD
  • If you only want one or two drinks at a time you can make the batter ahead, keep it in the refrigerator, and make single drinks whenever you want. There are actually two ways to do it:
  • Of course, if you’re making Hot Buttered Rums ahead for a party you can chill the batter ahead, too! The nice thing about making the batter ahead is that it keeps in the refrigerator for up to a month as long as it’s properly stored.
  • Sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg (or both!) over the top – a little goes a long way!
  • Or, get fancy and add a dollop of homemade whipped cream.
  • A simple cinnamon stick is a nice way to garnish the drink, too.
  • Go crazy and do all of these garnishes! Top with whipped cream, sprinkle some cinnamon over the top, add a cinnamon stick and your Hot Buttered Rum will look like it was made in a restaurant!
  • Double or triple the recipe and make the batter following the instructions.
  • Place the batter in a pot and add the rum.
  • Pour boiling water over the batter and rum. Place the pot over a burner and turn it to medium. Stir until the batter has dissolved.
  • Adjust the heat to keep the drink mixture steaming hot (it shouldn’t be boiling) and you can ladle drinks into mugs as people want them!
  • You can also set up a garnish bar and let your guests dress up their drinks to their tastes.
  • Once you’ve made the batter, scoop it onto a piece of plastic wrap and roll it up into a log. Chill the log for at least an hour and then you can slice off a piece for a single drink, place it in a mug, add the rum and boiling water. Stir and enjoy!
  • Or, you can just place the batter in a container and use a spoon to scoop the amount you want in your drink. This works well, too.
