Hot Buttered Rum

Hot buttered rum is a classic chilly weather drink that can warm your belly and create that cozy feeling.

Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 oz unsalted butter, softened
• 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Add whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a cinnamon stick to stir.

Spiked Lattes

Coffee is always an excellent choice to help you feel warm and cozy when it’s chilly outside. Making lattes at home means that you can customize each one and create different flavors, such as gingerbread, peppermint, and eggnog. Below we share the recipe for gingerbread spiked lattes.
