Description
At its core, the Butterscotch Hot Rum Recipe is a modern, decadent evolution of the traditional Hot Buttered Rum. While classic hot rum drinks rely primarily on brown sugar, butter, and hot water, this recipe incorporates real butterscotch syrup to introduce a deep, caramelized buttery sweetness that elevates the entire profile.

45 ml (1½ oz) dark rum

1 tablespoon butterscotch syrup

1 teaspoon unsalted butter

180 ml (¾ cup) hot water

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of ground nutmeg
-
1 teaspoon brown sugar, optional
-
Whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
-
Butterscotch chips or a light drizzle of butterscotch sauce, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the butterscotch base: In a heatproof mug, combine the butterscotch syrup, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and optional brown sugar.
