Hot Buttered Rum – WellPlated.com

Hot butter is the ultimate holiday cocktail to keep it comfortably with a combination of dark rum, warm spices, honey, brown sugar and yes, butter. It is rich, creamy and sipping while she snuggles under a blanket and looks at Hallmark Christmas films.

Buttered rum: a cocktail with an old school with a timeless charm.

Yes, buttered rum is a real drink – and that’s exactly what it says. It is hot, it is made of butter and moved with rum. No false advertising here! This is a cocktail that is perfect for parties, but is also easy enough for yourself just because you earn a pleasure. (Hot butter bourbon is equally delicious.)

If the thought of butter is a little repulsive in a cocktail, think like this: butter is made from cream. So it is really a creamy, delicious, warm preparation that she immediately brings you into the holiday spirit.

The base of Buttered Rum is called dough – it is a mixture of butter, a sweetener (in the case of my recipe, brown sugar and honey) and cozy spices. The dough lasts in the fridge for a few weeks so that you can set up a cup of hot butterrum if you are ashamed. (Or whenever “an unexpected Christmas” plays on the Hallmark channel.)

Key ingredients

You can find the full list of ingredients in the recipe card below, but here are some notes that you should consider.

• Butter rum dough. This begins with soft unsalted butter; To do this, we add brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and only a pinch of salt.
• rum. I use dark rum for this recipe, but spiced rum is also a joy. (Personally, I would not use coconut -rum, but some people like it.)
• Whipped cream. This makes her hot butter rum particularly creamy when he melts. Don’t skip it!
• Optional garnings. Add a cinnamon stick or freshly grated nutmeg if you want.

Smart the hot butter for a crowd

As written, this recipe serves two, but if you serve it for a party, you want to scale it so that you do not puree butter with spices in the kitchen all in the evening. That’s how I would do it:

• Use a full butter stick to make 8 cocktails. (Feel free to scale from there or down.)
• Scaling the rest of the dough ingredients accordingly – see the recipe card notes for precise measurements if you create 8 cocktails.
• Beat the butter with the dough ingredients in a blender or in a bowl with a hand mixer.
• Combine the rum, the boiling water and the dough in a slow stove. Use the Keep -warm backdrop and have your guests served all night over a hot butterrum. Simply set the whipped cream, cinnamon sticks and nutmeg near the crockpot together with cups or heat -resistant glasses.
