Hot Buttered Rum

Hot Buttered Rum

Believe it or not, hot buttered rum has been around since colonial days. Molasses was imported from Jamaica, and distilleries in New England made rum. A popular way to drink rum was in toddies and nogs. Multiple recipes for hot buttered rum show up in magazines like LIFE as early as the 1940s. This is a simple recipe. I recommend aged rum over spiced rums; I like El Dorado 12 year.
