Time 15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom
1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch salt
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1 ⅛ cups dark rum
4 ½ cups boiling water, or as needed
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cardamom, clove, and salt for batter into a mixing bowl and cream together with a spatula until well combined.
  • To make the drink, place about 2 tablespoons of the batter into a festive, heat-proof mug. Add 1 tablespoon cream, 3 tablespoons rum, and fill halfway up with some of the boiling water. Stir with a spoon until the batter dissolves and top off more water. Garnish with a pinch of nutmeg. Repeat until all 6 drinks are prepared and serve immediately.
