Yield: 1 Cocktail
Ingredients:
- 1 small slice soft butter
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- optional spices to taste: ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, allspice
- vanilla extract
- 2 oz dark rum
- hot water
Preparation:
- Place the butter, sugar and spices at the bottom of an Irish coffee glass or mug.
- Mix well or muddle.
- Pour in the rum and hot water.
- Stir.
*Red hot poker mixing: Choose a clean, thick rod and let it sit in the fire until it is red hot. Shake off any ashes and be careful not to touch the rod to the bottom of the glass or it will shatter. This is great for camping and the same hot-poker method can be used for caramelizing dark beers.
