Instructions:

  1. Begin by boiling water in the kettle.
  2. Add 1 oz. Spiced Apple Cider Concentrate to your mug.
  3. Using the shot glass, measure 1.5 oz. dark or spiced rum, and add to the mug. 
  4. Top up the mug with hot water.
  5. Add the 1/2 tbsp of butter to the mug, where it will melt. 
  6. Stir gently and regularly with the cinnamon stick as you sip your Hot Cider Buttered Rum. This keeps the melted butter mixed into the drink.
Additional Notes:
  • Use a darker rum when making a Buttered Rum. White rum is too sharp for the mellowness needed. Go as dark as you dare!
  • Regular butter is very preferable to margarine or other butter substitutes. The richness and natural oils of butter are essential to make this a true Toddy. And this is one time you actually want salted butter in a recipe!
  • For a Buttered Rum, add honey or brown sugar to your liking.
