All opinions are entirely my own. #SweetNLowStars
There is a chill in the air and one of my favorite drinks to warm up with is a
Hot Buttered Rum.
My dad is infamous for making them
(even when it gets to a frigid 75 degrees in Southern California)
and I couldn't resist trying my own version.
It is creamy, soothing and tastes like the Holidays in a mug!
So easy to make and fun to serve.
A "butter-ball" of a spicy mixture goes in the bottom of your mug...
then topped with hot water...
and dark rum...
Sweetened up with Sweet'N Low and festive with a cinnamon stir stick,
the cold winter doesn't stand a chance!
Package in a jar and tied with a bow,
it is the perfect gift on it's own but pair it with a mug and rum and you will be a superstar...
