HOT BUTTERED RUM

This warm and toasty cocktail might stir up memories of cozy winter nights gone by-when the smell of fresh-baked gingerbread filled the air and the twinkling tree lit up the room. And really, it's no wonder why, hot buttered rum is practically Christmas in a cup! With the combination of butter, brown sugar, whipping cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon and cloves-it's as decadent as any holiday dessert. But much simpler, even if it does call for making a batter, which incidentally is the key to this rich and creamy recipe. With a well-seasoned batter mixed up, all that's left is pouring it into your prettiest serving glasses or mugs and mixing in a bit of boiling water. For an impressive finish, top each glass with a grate of fresh nutmeg. Oh, did we mention, this recipe yields 24 serving and can be prepped ahead? That makes it the perfect party drink, don't you think?
