Put 2-3 t butter and 1 T brown sugar in a mug. Fill the mug halfway with boiling water and stir to melt the butter and dissolve the sugar. Then choose your variation from below:
Traditional hot buttered rum
Add one shot of rum and either:
– A pinch of cloves and cinnamon
– A lemon twist
Fireball hot buttered rum
Add one shot of rum and a splash of Fireball liqueur
Vegan hot buttered rum
Substitute coconut oil for the butter, and add a pinch of salt
This is especially good with a splash of peach brandy, and would probably benefit from a little Malibu coconut rum as well
Mango hot buttered rum (thanks to Ivar’s for this idea)
Add one shot of mango-flavored rum and a splash of Southern Comfort
Coconut hot buttered rum
Add one shot of coconut-flavored rum and a splash of Southern Comfort
Maple hot buttered rum
Add one half shot of rum, one half shot of maple liqueur, and a twist of lemon
