National Hot Buttered Rum Day

Hot buttered rum is a warm and comforting alcoholic beverage typically made with dark rum, butter, brown sugar, and warm spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The drink is often served during the winter months and is a popular holiday beverage in many countries. To make hot buttered rum, the butter, brown sugar, and spices are first combined to make a mixture that is then added to hot water or cider. The rum is then stirred in, and the drink is served hot with a garnish of cinnamon or a cinnamon stick. Hot buttered rum has a rich, creamy texture and a sweet and spicy flavor that is perfect for warming up on a cold day. The butter and spices give the drink a comforting aroma, while the rum adds a subtle kick of alcohol. While hot buttered rum is a traditional holiday drink, it can also be enjoyed at any time during the winter months. It is often served at holiday parties and gatherings, but can also be made at home for a cozy night in.
