    Expat in the Netherlands

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made these Hot Toddies, so we could sip them on Christmas afternoon, by the Christmas tree with my in-laws. The weather... had gotten blow freezing that day, which is cold for Holland, and it was a lovely treat by the Christmas tree when we opened our presents. Unbeknownst to me, my husband and in-laws had never heard of hot toddies, hot buttered rum, or anything like this before. Guess it is not part of the Dutch drink repertoire. Anyway as we sat by the tree opening up presents and sipping our hot toddies, they commented on how they were enjoying this new hot drink. They must have liked them alot, as they asked me to make a second batch! This recipe is fabulous. I did follow the advice of other reviewers and lowered the rum to just 2oz. That was strong enough for us. I also added just a little dollup of butter at the end, so that you could see it melting as I handed out the drinks. This is a keeper recipe and I am sure I will be asked again to make them. Thanks Emeril, for a lovely recipe that made Christmas with family just a little bit better!Read more

    Excellent balance - really good mix

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    We have been silly and buying our mix at the store for the last few years...this is much better than anything I have ever... purchased. I ended up cutting the brown sugar to 1.5 cups. I agree on the comment about the fresh nutmeg...makes a world of difference. I used a disher to make into 1TBSP balls and stuck in the freezer. Easily portioned out when needed. Fantastic!Read more

    Perfect In Every Way!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is now my favorite drink in the whole world, honestly. I've been bringing the ingredients and sharing it with family and... friend too! So good, warming, and delicious! I do agree with most of the other reviews though, I cut the amount of rum in half or it's a bit too strong for my liking. Delicious with whipped cream and a little extra sprinkling of cinnamon on top. Mmmm! Read more

    Mmmmm, great around the holidays

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    We make this every year for when we are decorating the tree. I break it up into the 2tbl amounts, wrap in saran wrap and... store in the fridge so we can make it throughout the season. I like a little less rum but my husband likes the full 3oz. SO tasty and perfect on those cold nights.Read more

    This is fantastic!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Reminds me of apres ski and it's never a bad time to have one. This recipe has become a favorite this time of year and the... mixture keeps very well in the refrigerator in an air tight container. Don't use anything but fresh ground nutmeg, that's the secret to the flavor, I think.Read more
