Hot Buttered Rum
I have to confess that the first time I heard about Hot Buttered Rum it sounded . . . odd. Rum? With butter? Even Bacardi 151 on a freezing cold evening in January after a day spent skiing sounded odd in the context of melted butter. Then, when a friend explained that it really did involve rum with melted butter and spices and sugar, I thought it sounded less than appetizing. Essentially, the traditional recipe for Hot Buttered Rum is a hot toddy made with rum.
