I am originally a southern girl and was never really interested in hot alcoholic beverages until I moved to Washington state a couple years ago. A bartender at a favorite spot turned me onto to this drink on a super chilly night out with friends. I loved it but after the holiday season was over I couldn't find anybody that still carried the 'butter mix' but yet this is WA and it's still cold outside! So I looked up the recipe and came across this one. I cut the recipe in half and only added 2 ounces of spiced rum. 3 would have been too much for me. This recipe is delicious but I did feel it wasn't really that buttery so as another reviewer stated, maybe some butter extract would do the trick. I think I may have to pick some up and try it. Otherwise, this recipe is perfect! Btw, I also think the cloves in this recipe really make it. I've seen other recipes that didn't call for cloves. Somehow, I think they'd probably be lacking in the yummy department without it...

This was a perfect cocktail for a very cold evening. Hit the spot. Easy to make. I rolled the batter in plastic wrap and just cut off what I needed. Will definitely keep this recipe and never again purchase the pre-made again. thanx Emeril

My husband and I are at home sitting alone together on the couch for what feels like the first time since the holidays began; surrounded by boxes of Christmas decorations waiting to be carried back down to storage. All we want to do is relax a little and enjoy each others company while we watch a college football game (he watches while I read recipes online. Hey, do you want a Hot Buttered Rum? Good idea! Do you remember how to make them? Um... after going online and reading one recipe after another, Emeril's sounded most like the method a friend taught us years ago. I mashed the butter and spices up, scooped some into mugs, added the rum and hot water and it is outstanding! I'm thinking this butter mixture is something to keep handy for the winter so we can whip these babies up whenever the spirit moves. Mmmm!
