Hot Buttered Irish Rum
If you’ve never experienced the sheer delight of a hot buttered rum, I’m quite envious of you. It’s such a beautiful sensation when the spicy butter envelops the rum and the brown sugar tempers it all. You never forget your first hot buttered Irish rum.
Ingredients
1 heaped tsp unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp brown sugar
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp allspice
2 drops of vanilla essence
40ml Black’s Golden Rum
boiling water
Method
Put the butter, sugar, spices and vanilla in a glass mug and stir to combine. Add the rum and mix again before topping up the mug with boiling water and carefully stirring.
If you’re lashing out a load of these you can multiply the number required by how many serves you’re making, but slightly change the order of service. For instance, for 10 serves, multiply everything by 10 (except the rum) and mix it all up in a bowl. Then for each serve, put a tablespoon of the butter mixture into a glass mug, then hit it up with the rum and boiling water as per the method above.
