This is the recipe I’ve been using for the past 3 or 4 years, using Sailor Jerry’s rum to increase the spiciness: http://www.barnonedrinks.com/drinks/t/tonys-hot-buttered-rum-batter-12938.html
I didn’t make any this fall/winter, so I’m off to the kitchen to whip up the one you posted.

I like Mr. Boston’s simple approach…

1 tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. butter
2 oz. dark rum
Hot water (2/3 full in Irish coffee mug)

Add hot water to brown sugar. Stir to dissolve. Add butter and rum. Stir to melt butter. Garnish with a freshly ground nutmeg (and I sprinkled some cinnamon)

Like the cinnamon stick as garnish with a touch of vanilla along with the brown sugar and butter,and of course the Rum

I can’t believe no one mentioned using a hot poker to boil the mix. It’s a bit messy, but it sure is fun, and it definitely adds something.

In my Bar, we make it with organic appeljuice and Old Monk Rum from India!

Today is the day for this in the Northeast….

I have found that Zacapa’s sweetness works well with this…

I use all the spices mentioned…

I tend to go with fresh orange instead of lemon…and I use agave syrup instead of sugar. Oh…I also use a little less butter (personal taste preference).

Stay warm my friends!!!

Oh, +1 on HBR made with good black tea. Even better, if you happen to live anywhere near a Peet’s Coffee & Tea (mostly NorCal but other places as well), pick up a tin of their “Winter Solstice” — an amazing blend of black tea, spices, vanilla and dried citrus available only during the holidays. It’s practically all you need.
