Hot buttered rum (American)


The pirate alternative to mulled wine :). All joking aside, the hot buttered rum is a traditional winter drink in American pubs. Dilluted with water, the rum is then warmed and mixed with sugar and spices. A bit of butter added to the pot gives just the right amount of creaminess that is longed for. Enjoy it warm and in moderation ;).
Recipe source: Saveur.
