Hot Spiced Butter Rum

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?)
