A HOT BUTTERED RUM BATTER MIXTURE made out of Vanilla Ice Cream is so handy through the holidays. I have had this recipe for years. It keeps in the freezer for 3 months IF there is any left to save!!! Just remember - the ingredients are all 1's...


1 pound butter
1 pound brown sugar
1 pound confectioners' sugar
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg


DIRECTIONS
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Blend in brown sugar and confectioners' sugar. Remove from heat, and stir in the ice cream, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour mixture into a plastic container, seal, and freeze.
In a coffee mug, measure 1 tablespoon Hot Buttered Rum Batter and 1 fluid ounce of rum, then fill cup with boiling water. Stir, and sprinkle top of drink with nutmeg.

This sounds GREAT. I cannot wait to try it this holiday season.

The hot buttered rum drink that I remember was with heated apple cider, dark rum, a pat of butter, and a cinnamon stick to stir it with. The first time I ordered hot buttered rum at a restaurant, boy was I disapointed! Try it with cider or apple juice, it's the bomb!

My really easy & tasty hot toddy recipe is to take a 12 oz. can of sweetened iced tea with lemon, pour the contents into a mug, add about a jigger (more or less) of 21-24 yr. old single malt scotch, preferably portwood aged, or a good rum, and microwave for about 1.5 to 2 minutes. Sit back, sip, and enjoy. Rare Tawny Port will also work well. Perfect for those evenings when you just want to mellow out before a good night's sleep.

I made this for Thanksgiving, and it was terrific! (I should say IS because there is a lot of batter left in the freezer.) I used two pints of softened Haagen-Dazs in the batter, and about 1 1/2 oz of dark Bacardi in the mug. I didn't put nutmeg on top before serving because it settled to the bottom of the mug. Really good special-occasion recipe, though...

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MORE RECEPIES.

I,m glad I found this recipe. I have wanted to make this drink but never knew what the actual ingredients were. I have to say I'm suprised that real butter is used. My holistic doctor always told me a hot toddy was a good remedy for a cold.

Make the batter except leave out the ice cream and keep it in the fridge. That's how I learned to drink hot buttered rum.

My no alcohol hot buttered run is:
mix together cinnamon and fresh grated nutmeg into room temperature butter. Chill well.
Drop a large pat of the butter mixture (to taste) into a cup of very hot cider.

Add cinnamon stick and serve. You can add rum flavoring if you want. The great part is that the kids can have a cup, too.

The best hot buttered rum batter you can make comes from an old 1940s Trader Vic's book of food and drink. It'll make a tub full that you can keep in your fridge all winter long.

1 lb brown sugar (1 box)
1/4 lb butter (1 stick)
1/2 to 1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 to 1 tsp ground cloves
1/2 to 1 tsp ground nutmeg
a pinch of salt

thoroughly blend all these together, add a heaping tablespoon to a mug, add a shot of rum (I like dark rum), fill with boiling water and mix. Serve with a cinnamon stick, if you like.

By the way, make it with 151 proof rum, and it's a "Northwest Passage"

Use coffee instead of water, and it's a "Coffee Grog."

Happy holidays!

adding a liquid other than water to this recipe makes sense since water does nothing to flavor it will have to try the apple cider as a substitute sounds deee lish

W Howard: cut and paste the recipes you want to word perfect or whatever you have on your computer, edit as you like, and save to your doc's, and you can print them out anytime you want. i keep mine in a 'recipe folder' there. saves clutter in the cookbook cupboard!

As an "old time" bardender from Alaska where HOT BUTTERED RUM's were very common in the winter time, I would go with the Vanilla Ice Cream recipe. We used one very similar to this in the bar. We also used Vanilla Ice Cream in all our "FOO-FOO" drinks that called for cream! Of course, we all know there are NO CALORIES in these tasty treats!! At least this time of the year..... HOWEVER, if you want to cut calorie, I'd go with the old Trader Vic's recipe. Both of these may be used to spice up other drinks and deserts. Use your imagination. ENJOY, BE SAFE and have a VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!!!

why not use your coffee maker?

glung in your rum to the carafe.....put in your butter..same carafe..use a filter and put in some powdered cinnamon.....the filter will keep it out of the carafe

pour in your apple juice..your ice tea...whatever ingredients you decide....let the heat warm it up and enjoy....alot simplier to me:)
