Hot Buttered Rum
Description
This Hot Buttered Rum recipe starts by whipping together softened butter with powdered and brown sugars along with warming spices—nutmeg, cinnamon, and optional cloves—and then blending in slightly softened vanilla ice cream to form a spiced butter batter. This mixture can be frozen for storage up to three months, making mix-and-serve preparation convenient.
To serve, a tablespoon or more of the butter batter is placed in a heat-safe mug, then combined with 1 to 1.5 ounces of dark rum and topped off with boiling water or hot cider for a seasonal twist. The heat melts the butter batter into the liquid, resulting in a rich, creamy drink with smooth sweetness and nuanced spice flavors. An optional dollop of whipped cream and a fresh sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg finishes the presentation.
This recipe also includes a non-alcoholic variation that omits the rum and uses hot cider instead of water, providing a spiced butterscotch-flavored warm beverage suitable for all ages.
