Chef John's Hot Buttered Rum

This was quick to make and way tastier than the effort I put into it! That means it's perfect!

Made the recipe with one change (I can't eat dairy - so no heavy cream), had to grind my own cloves and cardamom (green is the variety that I had on hand) Very simple, very tasty, not overly sweet, not too much alcohol. Definitely wrapping an refrigerating the leftover batter. We'll have many more cold winter nights.

Followed the recipe to the letter and I have to say it was ridiculously good. Could not ask for more!

This is really good and so easy to make and enjoy... Thank you, chef John, love my winter nights now....

....omgosh..... This is thee best warm Christmas drink. I, again, made it exactly as written and videoed and It. Is. Amazing. Thank you again, CJ for yet another excellent recipe. I am keeping the butter batter in my fridge all pandemic winter....it really helps on those cold dreary winter days....evoking all kinds of relaxation.

Mmmm, smooth & comforting & easy to make. you'll definitely want to, at a minimum, double the batch.

Wonderful flavor and texture! Reminds me a of a chai latte, but smoother.

One of my favorite drinks for cold days, and here in Washington, we get a lot of cold days.

Wow! Super-simple to make and very delicious. And because the “batter” goes a long way, it’s easy to keep some on hand for use at a later date.

Oh. This was SO good. I'm anxiously awaiting the next snow storm, immediately after which I will bundle up and sit on my deck, surrounded by the quiet of heavy snow and kept cozy by the boozy heat of this heavenly beverage.

This was perfect! Not too sweet but just right. Caution, have only one while baking Christmas cookies.

This is an excellent recipe. So tasty! A perfect drink for a cold winter evening. Thanks, Chef John!

Delicious! Can’t believe I’ve been without hot buttered rum so long in my life. I left out the clubs because I don’t like them

We jokingly call this hot ruddered bum now - thanks Chef John! This is really tasty, but I worry about drinking butter because of the richness ...however, if I stick to one of these, it's OK . I am, afterall, the Queen Mum of my ruddered bum!

So so good! Adjusted the spices a little bit but you could put anything in it and the combo of spices + butter + heavy cream + rum would be delicious.
