I was just wondering if anyone here had a tried and true recipe for Hot Buttered Rum that they could vouch for and would like to share. I'm not sure, with all of the variations out there, which is the best. I tried posing this question to my friends on facebook, but due to an overrepresentation of SDAs, I didn't really get an answer.
Thanks!

I made some a couple of years ago and it was delicious.
Be sure to use the darkest rum available for a rich flavor.
That recipe serves 30, but you should keep it frozen and you can have it every night for a month!

About the butter, buy European if possible because they taste the most natural. If you don't have access to different butters where you live, the most buttery and natural flavor that I've found is the Wal-Mart brand (unsalted).
Enjoy!

I'm not sure about finding Euro butter, I'll see if Whole Foods has it, if not I'll just head to Walmart. Thanks for the tip... yay!

I meant to buy real butter. You'd be safe buying butter from Europe if you had it. Land-O-Lakes has a tangy taste to me that doesn't taste like creamy butter that I think is appropriate for Hot Buttered Rum.

Ok, I get it, European-style butter. See I know nothing about butter, or cooking for that matter. I checked Whole Foods Market online and they educated me on how European butter has a higher amount of butterfat, now I know. So I guess I'll be going there.

It's not strong at all. There's very little rum in it and it's only for the taste (like tobacco). The butter gives it a buttery and creamy flavor.
I don't know why you'd get sick from it.

Enjoy!
New Zealand butter is very popular over here, and is well kown for it's rich taste.

I agree. I've had some before. The US is seriously behind in butter with the rest of the West. We focus heavily on manufactured margarine instead. I haven't had margarine in probably 10 years and tried it again recently to compare the taste and it seriously tasted like petroleum jelly and had a waxy texture.

Astralis, why do you need the rum for 6 months? What does this do for you or anyone having it? lacy-1
