- HOT RUM TODDY -- ultimate hot buttered rum recipe
-
- I started making hot buttered rum from a Trader Vic recipe 15 years ago,
- and I have gradually evolved it by adding more spices, more butter, and
- less rum.
-
- The way you make a hot buttered rum is to add some "batter" to some rum,
- and heat it. I like to keep a made-up batch of the batter in the fridge
- in an old tub. For parties I make up a fresh batch.
-
- Serves 12
-
- 1 lb dark brown sugar
- 1/2 lb salted butter
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp ground white cardamom
- 750 ml top-quality dark rum (a standard "fifth" bottle, 750ml, will
- serve 12)
-
- MAKING THE BATTER
-
- 1. Put all batter ingredients (everything but the rum) in a food
- processor and run it until the stuff turns creamy. Fold it down once
- with a rubber spatula to make sure the spices are blended in, and run
- the food processor some more.
-
- 2. Scoop the mixture into a leftover container, and refrigerate. It
- will keep for many months in the refrigerator, even though it contains
- butter.
-
- MAKING THE DRINKS
-
- 1. Fill a coffee mug half-full of boiling water. The easiest way to
- do this is to put a mug of hot water in the microwave. If you don't
- have a microwave, then fill the mug with boiling water, pour it out,
- then fill it half-full of boiling water.
-
- 2. Add 2 generous tablespoons of batter. Stir until the batter
- dissolves in the hot water. I use a small wire whisk for this stirring.
-
- 3. Add 2 jiggers of the best rum you can afford. When I make this in
- quantities for parties I like to use Myers Dark Rum.
-
- One theory of hot-toddy making is that it is impossible to use too much
- batter, and you should keep stirring more in until you are bored with
- stirring.
-
- Another theory of hot-toddy making is that it is impossible to use too
- much rum, and that you should keep stirring in more until your friends
- panic.
