It’s officially day five of The Twelve Boozy Days of Christmas. Today I’m bringing you another warm and comforting drink – Chai Spiced Hot Buttered Rum.
I have never had buttered rum before and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it tasted. I mean, lets be serious. It’s butter. You’re drinking butter.
However, don’t let that turn you off. It really is tasty. I don’t know if I would recommend drinking them all day everyday, but holiday time is a time for gluttony.
Am I right?
Chai Spiced Hot Buttered Rum
Yield: 12 cocktails
Ingredients:
1 stick unsalted butter - room temperature
2 cups light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 - 1 teaspoon chai spice blend
Pinch ground cloves
Pinch salt
Bottle dark rum
Boiling water

Directions:
In a bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, chai spice blend, cloves and salt. Refrigerate until almost firm. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture into 12 small mugs. Pour about 3 ounces of rum into each mug. Top with boiling water, stir well and serve immediately.

I love chai and can't wait to try this one, too. I am adoring your 12 Boozy Days of Christmas special. What a great idea! How long would you say it takes for the mixture to get firm in the refrigerator? Minutes? Hours? Thanks!

I would think an hour would be fine. To be honest, if you were in a time crunch I'm sure you could use it soft and it wouldn't ruin the drink.

I'm totally okay with drinking butter...because chai spices are miracle spices, right?

1. I totally called it yesterday after seeing your instagram pic. 2. Is it tacky to drink this through a straw? I've always wanted to slurp butter through a straw...
