Hot Buttered Rum
Description
Hot Buttered Rum starts with a smooth butter mixture whipped with softened vanilla ice cream, sugars, and warming spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg to create a rich, creamy base. This blend is chilled and then portioned into mugs with light rum and topped with hot water to create a comforting warm beverage. The whipped cream topping adds smoothness, while the cinnamon stick and nutmeg sprinkle enhance the aroma and depth of flavor.
The drink's texture is creamy with the softly melted ice cream and butter blending seamlessly into the hot liquid. The spices add a warm, slightly sweet note that complements the character of the rum. This recipe works well as a warming cocktail, especially in cooler weather, and can also be adapted as a non-alcoholic mocktail by omitting rum.
It's practical to prepare the buttered rum mixture ahead of time and freeze it for up to three months, making it easy to have the base ready for quick serving. Adjust sweetness or spices according to taste, and stir thoroughly when assembling the drink to evenly distribute the flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream , softened
- 16 ounces butter softened, unsalted
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 1 pound brown sugar , packed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- rum light
- water hot, boiled
- cinnamon stick for serving
- Whipped Cream , for serving
Instructions
- Set the ice cream out to soften for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until fluffy. Add the softened ice cream and beat until mixed. Transfer to a container with a lid and freeze.
- To serve, thaw the butter mixture slightly. Place 3 tablespoons of the mix into a glass mug with 1 ½ ounces of rum (1 large jigger) and fill the rest of the glass with hot boiled water. Stir well and top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg, and a cinnamon stick.
Notes
- Prepare the buttered rum base in advance and store in the freezer for up to three months to save time on serving day.
- Omit the rum to create a warm, spiced mocktail alternative.
- Use freshly boiled water to ensure the drink is served hot and the sugars dissolve fully.
- Whipped cream topping and a cinnamon stick add both visual appeal and flavor depth upon serving.
