Hot Buttered Rum
It doesn’t quite feel like holidays until we are in front of the fireplace with Christmas music on and a cozy mug of Hot Buttered Rum in our hand. Hot Buttered Rum dates back to the colonial days in the United States, but warming beverages, in general, have a longer and broader history. Although the recipe has not changed much, the flavor speaks for itself. Hot buttered rum is sweetly spiced, and full of Christmas joy. Let us show you how to make this delicious Christmas cocktail!
NOTE: This recipe serves 100. We like to make it at the beginning of the season and freeze it in various bag sizes. Just the two of us? Pull out a small bag from the freezer. The entire family? Grab two large bags! *It freezes up to 3 months.
