Hot Buttered Rum

For the Batter:

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

  • ½ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom

  • 1 pinch ground cloves

  • 1 pinch salt

For the Drinks:

  • 6 tablespoons heavy cream

  • 1 ⅛ cups dark rum

  • 4 ½ cups boiling water, or as needed

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste

Directions

  1. Place butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, clove, and salt for batter into a mixing bowl and cream together with a spatula until well combined.

  2. To make the drink, place about 2 tablespoons of the batter into a festive, heat-proof mug. Add 1 tablespoon cream, 3 tablespoons rum, and fill halfway up with some of the boiling water. Stir with a spoon until the batter dissolves and top off more water. Garnish with a pinch of nutmeg. Repeat until all 6 drinks are prepared and serve immediately.
