Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 7 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 cups unfiltered apple cider *
  • 4 tablespoons salted grass-fed butter or more to taste
  • 1-¼ cups dark golden rum

Optional Add-Ins:

Instructions

  • Add the apple cider, butter and cinnamon stick to a medium-sized pot and bring to a full boil. Whisk vigorously until frothy.
  • Remove from heat, add the rum, and serve hot.
  • Note: Once the cider mixture has come to a boil, you can skip the whisking and add all of the liquid (including the rum) to a blender, and blend until frothy. Just make sure the steam can escape by leaving the center hole of your blender’s cover open.

Notes

*You can also use 100% pure apple juice, but cider is better!  If your cider is already spiced, taste the cocktail before adding cinnamon or nutmeg to be sure you aren't overpowering the drink with spice.
For a sweeter beverage, you can add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to the hot buttered rum (or to taste).
