This isn't a "bare cupboard" recipe, but this blog is also about my kitchen experiments. Some go wrong, others, like this one go oh, so RIGHT!! :)
My absolute FAVORITE cold weather drink (other than coffee!!) is a hot buttered rum... like seriously... Its rummy, buttery goodness!! I love to curl up on the couch, with a steamy mug of the stuff and watch football, or a good movie or TV show!! And if you don't know what a hot buttered rum is, you are TOTALLY missing out!!
I love it so much, I wanted to enjoy it when its 100 degrees outside... but I don't like hot drinks on a hot day... (my Gran LOVED a cup of hot tea on a hot day... I've never understood it...) Anyway... hot buttered rum is rum, sugar, butter and hot water... not too many ingredients to work with... So, how was I going to get that flavor and make it iced?! Well, I happened to be at my parents about a year ago, and saw they had Butterscotch schnapps... and a light went off in my head... if I mixed that with rum and some club soda, I might just get what I was after... and sure enough WHAM!! I found my COLD buttered rum... So, here's the recipe! If you give it a try, lemme know what you think!! I'll share my hot buttered rum recipe later in the fall when it gets cooler! :)
