After a day of cold winter hiking or walking in the cold outdoors there is nothing better than getting home to a warming drink. This hot buttered rum cocktail recipe is just wonderful to warm yourself up and leave the cold winter air outside.
The drink has a long history. In the United States it is said to date back to the colonial days. It is also a drink that has a strong association with the festive period. When I drink it I do feel the cinnamon and spices really do add that Christmas time vibe.
A lot of people have a bottle of dark rum gathering dust in their drinks cupboard. Not I, as it is a big go to for me when I have a break from Keto. This drink recipe takes your rum and it adds some spicy winter flavours to get the taste buds going.
A lot of the spices you may already have in your kitchen cupboard too. Anyway, enough talking and time to make a drink.

- Place the spice batter in your glass of choice. (I make the batter in my glass anyway)
