This cocktail is to accompany my lecture on the theological treatise on beatitude. Although this is not the season for cocktails, prior to Christmas, I am prepping a list of potential options for Christmastide celebrations. Here is a good option for a cold winter day: hot buttered rum! (This recipe is adapted from The Spruce Eats.)
Mix these together in an 8oz mug
1 tsp. dark brown sugar
1 Tbsp. softened butter
1 / 3 tsp. each: Ground Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Allspice
Add fluid:
2 oz. dark rum (I have used Myers Dark or Diplomatico Mantuano)
1 / 3 tsp. (to taste depending on rum used) vanilla extract
Top off with hot water and stir
If hosting, serve with a cinnamon stick
