Hot Buttered Rum

Ingredients:

BUTTERED RUM BATTER
4 tbsp. butter softened
3 tbsp. packed brown sugar
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream, softened
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

RUM DRINK
2 cups apple cider
1 cup rum

Method:

  • Make the Buttered Rum Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in ice cream and cinnamon, then spoon into a mason jar or resealable container. Store in freezer until mostly hardened, about 2 hours or until ready to serve.
  • Make the Drinks: In a medium saucepan, heat cider until boiling, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and pour into a pitcher or easy-to-serve container.
  • Place about 2 tablespoons of buttered rum batter into each mug. Fill about 1/3 of the way up with rum, then top with hot apple cider. Stir before serving.
