Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter softened
  • 1 ½ teaspoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 shot 1.5 ounces Don Q Oak Barrel Spiced Rum
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • 1 cup milk warmed
  • Cinnamon sticks and extra cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  • In a small bowl combine butter and sugars and transfer to mug.
  • Add milk to mug along with rum and spices; stir to combine.
  • Garnish with a cinnamon stick and sprinkle of cinnamon on top.

Notes

  1. Butter Blend: Create a rich and flavorful base by thoroughly mixing softened butter with powdered sugar and brown sugar. This blend not only adds sweetness but also enhances the creamy texture of the hot buttered rum. Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing and incorporation into the drink.
  2. Spice Infusion: Elevate the flavor profile of your hot buttered rum by adding a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon. These warming spices complement the sweetness of the drink and provide a comforting aroma. Adjust the amount of spices to suit your personal taste preferences, but be cautious not to overpower the delicate flavors of the rum and milk.
  3. Temperature Control: Warm the milk before adding it to the mug to ensure a cozy and comforting beverage. Avoid boiling the milk to prevent scalding or curdling. Instead, gently heat the milk on the stovetop or in the microwave until it reaches a warm, but not boiling, temperature. This step helps to meld the flavors together and creates a soothing drink perfect for cold evenings. Additionally, consider serving the hot buttered rum in pre-warmed mugs to maintain its temperature for longer enjoyment.
