Like a hot toddy, this old-world drink is typically a mixture of liquor and water, with honey and spices, served hot. Here’s a wicked recipe for butter rum:
Dry ingredients:
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon finely minced lemon rind
3 pinches of cinnamon
1 pinch of ground cloves
1 pinch of nutmeg
Wet ingredients:
Boiling water
1 jigger golden rum
1 generous teaspoon unsalted butter
Preparation:
Place the dry ingredients into the bottom of a mug. Pour in the rum, then fill with boiling water. Finally, drop in the butter.
