Spiced butter is delicious on its own accord, but combined into a hot spiced butter rum, it’s the comforting warm beverage hug you didn’t know you needed this winter! And yes, everything is better with butter.
It’s been a while since we have had a drinks post around here and, to be honest, outside of a glass of wine or a hot chocolate, I have not been getting that creative in that department of late. But that is about to change!
This maybe seems like a lot of butter – so, I would also use it in other ways. It can go on toast or on fruit too (how amazing would it be with the pan roasted persimmons?)

I’ve always heard of hot buttered rum but have never tried it.
It always seemed like a special treat to me, back in the day when our favorite cozy neighborhood bar to go to with friends was still open..
Oh my goodness! I used to follow you ages ago, and something happened! Good to see your pretty face again. Love this recipe.
