Hot Buttered Rum Coffee
Yield: 1 cup coffee
A twist on a classic holiday cocktail, this Hot Buttered Rum Coffee is a welcome addition for cozy winter days. Serve at your next holiday party with a tray of Christmas cookies or simply take a moment to slow down and enjoy the holiday season!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature (I recommend a high quality, creamy butter.)
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoons cardamom
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg freshly ground is awesome here!
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- pinch of kosher salt
- Cruzan® Black Strap Rum or your own favorite black rum
- your favorite brewed coffee very hot (I prefer a darker, full-bodied coffee for this recipe)
- cream or half & half
- freshly whipped and sweetened cream for garnish
- cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- In a stand mixer on medium speed, cream together butter, sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, and salt for 3 minutes. Use immediately (while at its soft & fluffy best!) or store in a covered container in the refrigerator. If storing in the refrigerator, know that the spiced butter will harden - simply take it out of the fridge 30 minutes prior to serving.
- To create a cup of hot buttered rum coffee, place 2 tablespoons of spiced butter in a medium cup. Pour in 2 ounces of rum (use more or less, to your liking). Then pour in coffee to fill the cup. Stir to incorporate/melt the spiced butter. Add a splash of cream or half & half. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
Notes
How to Store: You can make the spiced butter ahead of time and store it in the fridge in an airtight container. Since it is essentially just a whipped butter, it will last for at least a couple weeks. Just take it out of the fridge for 30 minutes prior to assembling your hot buttered rum cocktail.
