Hot Buttered Rum Cocktail
What is better on a bitterly cold winter’s day than a hot buttered rum cocktail? A snuggly blanket and a fireplace, perhaps. This delicious cocktail is so easy to make and your guests will be pleasantly surprised when they sip on this.
If rum isn’t your choice spirit then swap it out for your favorite liquor when throwing together the alcohol-infused whipped cream. It’s so good you might end up eating by the spoonful instead!
Never heard of a hot buttered rum cocktail before? Turns out this decadent mix of sugar, spices, rum and butter actually dates back to Colonial days. So don’t think of it as a dangerously delicious indulgence. Instead, think of it as a history lesson in a mug!
