Toast-Hot Buttered Rum

Jan 302011

With help of our friends at Van Gogh Vodka and Ron Abuelo Rum, October made some wonderfully sweet and yummy hot buttered rum featuring caramel vodka and rum as the highlights. This is a great drink to make during those cold winter months when you need something rich to drink. It has very simple ingredients so it’s a great recipe for bartending experts and non bartenders alike. Below is the recipe. Cheers!

HOT CARAMEL BUTTERED RUM

3 oz Ron Abuelo Añejo
1 oz Van Gogh Dutch Caramel Vodka
2 Tbsp stick Unsalted Butter, softened
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Honey
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground Cloves
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
Cinnamon Stick

Add all ingredients (excluding rum and vodka) into a hot drinking cup or mug. Mix the ingredients together until they are well combined and have formed a batter. Add Ron Abuelo Añejo rum and Van Gogh Dutch Caramel Vodka. Pour in hot water (1 cup or more to personal taste) and stir vigorously until the mixture has dissolved. Garnish with cinnamon stick.
