Spiced Hot Buttered Rum

It’s Adult Beverage time folks! After a 20 + year absence our neighbors  recently re-introduced me to Hot Buttered Rum. Sparky had never had this delectable concoction and after a few tentative sips, we have a new convert. Definitely a “GOLLLLLLYYYYYY, it is COLD out there drink, it really hits the spot after ice skating ( you really don’t want to have one before skating….trust me on this one). Or maybe after skiing or shoveling snow or after THINKING about shoveling snow. How about after white knuckling it over Sherman Pass in a blinding snowstorm when it’s ten below? Oh yes….definitely after that one! Our neighbors use a mix that they buy online for their Rum, but it is dreadfully expensive so I came up with this freshly made version that is positively ambrosial and very inexpensive. Goes together in 2 minutes flat so it meets all my requirements of fast, cheap and fabulous. Here’s a toast to Winter!

This is what we will need.

Spiced Hot Buttered Rum

6....just 6 simple ingredients are all it takes to whip up a batch of Hot Buttered Rum Mix! Blend it together, add Rum, boiling water and if you are Sparky, float Whipped Cream on the top. Then sit back, put your feet up and relax!

• Sparky has to have his topped with Whipped Cream. Me? Not so much.
  
• Sparky wouldn't let me take his picture without the cap on his head. Said he hadn't combed his hair. I said fine, you just look like a Burglar who stopped by for a drink! Store it covered, in the refrigerator.
