A warm, rich rum drink with butter, spice and soft cinnamon sweetness.
Hot Buttered Rum is one of the great cold-weather drinks. It is comforting, aromatic and deeply satisfying, with dark rum bringing depth and Cinnamon Syrup adding gentle spice without needing to build a separate spiced butter mix.
