hot buttered rum

I love Hot Butter Rum.  It’s so delicious, so wintery, so hot and buttery and so rum-y.  Somehow the thought of hot buttery rum goodness popped into my head and I can’t get it to escape.  I’ve been plagued with memories of nights at the cabin, playing Yahtzee and drinking hot buttered rum.  It the ultimate hole yourself up, settle next to the fire, enjoy your company type of drink.  I’ve got a hankering, and it’s not gonna go away till I have a warm mug of hot buttered rum.

 

I won’t be able to get my significant other to swig hot buttered rum-ness with me, even with the lure of a fake gas fireplace.  I’d even spring for a faux bear-skinned rug to go with the faux fireplace (that is really just some lights).  Anyway, I’m gonna have to wait till my little sister arrive next week.  Freshly 21 and not a drinker, I hope she likes warm, sweet drinks ‘cause I need a hot buttered rum sipping partner.  I guess my significant other should develop some sort of plans that night ‘cause I feel some Christmas carols might be required to complete that scenario.

 

I wonder hot buttered rum, a faux fireplace and Christmas carols are the way to set the scene for a little bonding time with the sister?  I’m sure it’s ideal.  I'm thinking about using the recipe below.  Ever the woman though, I'm a little wary of all the butter and sugar.  I've got a feeling I'd be strung out for days recovering from the fat and sugar overdose.  It's probably worth it though.  I mean, we'd be bonding!

 

The Mix

2c brown sugar

2 stick butter, at room temp

2c vanilla ice cream – melted

Whip all ingredients up in your food processor, blender or mixing bowl-a-ma-jig.  Freeze until ready to use, it won’t freeze solid and it’ll be ready for Hot Buttered Rum anytime, the drink below.

Good lord, it might as well be.  I think she bleeds butter.
