Recipe Introduction

Some of you may be asking, what the heck is a hot-buttered rum? Well today is the perfect reason to find out, it's Hot-Buttered Rum Day! A hot-buttered rum is a type of hot toddy made with butter, salt, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves. After the batter is mixed together, dark rum is added to make this delicious cocktail. Hot-buttered rum drinks originated during the Colonial period in America, after molasses began being imported from Jamaica. Following the opening of distilleries in New England in the 1650's, Colonists began to distill their rum and add it to hot beverages like toddies and nogs. To celebrate today, try making your own delicious hot-buttered rum drink to enjoy with friends!
