Recipe Notes
  • Room temperature butter is key for blending the spiced butter. But be sure to pop it in the refrigerator to set before making your hot buttered rum.
  • The butter can be wrapped and stored in the refrigerator for several days, or several weeks in the freezer.
  • You can use regular rum in this as well, but the spiced rum really adds something special.
