Get ready to indulge in a sumptuous winter treat that’s bound to warm your spirits. Today, I’m dishing out a recipe for a delightful Salted Caramel Buttered Rum. This concoction is a dreamy blend of sweet and salty flavors, perfect for those chilly evenings or a cozy night in.

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp Brown Sugar
• ¼ tsp Kosher Salt
• 3 oz Hot Water
• 1 tbsp Caramel Sauce (warmed up)
• 2 oz Dark Rum
• 1 tbsp Butter

Instructions:

1. Start with the Base: Grab your favorite mug and combine hot water, brown sugar, and kosher salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. This creates a sweet and slightly salty base that’s just perfect.
2. Add a Twist of Caramel: Now, here comes the star of the show – the caramel sauce. Add it to the mug and keep stirring. Make sure it’s well integrated into the mix. The caramel’s rich and buttery flavor will give this drink its signature taste.
3. Bring in the Rum: It’s time to pour in the dark rum. Dark rum is known for its deep, complex flavors which will add a robust kick to the drink. Stir well to combine.
4. Top with Butter: Lastly, float a tablespoon of butter on top. Yes, you heard it right! The butter will slowly melt into the drink, adding a creamy texture and a silky smooth finish.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve this beauty immediately while it’s still hot. The warmth of the drink melds the flavors beautifully, creating a comforting and indulgent experience.

This Salted Caramel Buttered Rum is a divine blend of sweetness, saltiness, and the rich, warming flavors of dark rum. It’s the perfect drink to savor on a cold evening or when you’re looking to treat yourself. David, with his love for unique flavors, loved this one. And hey, why not whip up a non-alcoholic version for those who prefer it? Just skip the rum and add a bit more caramel and butter. Cheers to cozy, flavorful sipping!

Pro Tip:
