Notes & Tips
Think of this as the hot toddy's cozier cousin - melted butter, warm baking spices, and dark rum in a mug, no bartender required. The ratio that matters: 1.5 oz rum to 8 oz hot water, with a tablespoon each of butter and brown sugar doing the heavy lifting. Spiced rum works great here too if that's what's on the shelf. Mocktail swap: skip the rum and use hot apple cider in place of the water - same buttery, spiced hug in a mug, completely booze-free. Perfect for a cold night or handing out at a fall get-together.
