Hot Buttered Rum Cocktail

A Hot Buttered Rum recipe gets a fall like twist with spiced rum and pumpkin spiced butter!

Hot Buttered Rum Cocktail gets a fall update with pumpkin spice butter!

Hot Buttered Rum… I can’t think of a better cocktail to curl up with on a cold, fall day. I actually hadn’t had Hot Buttered Rum before until a few weeks ago. I was visiting a friend one evening and as I sat down, she handed me a cup of this steamy, warm, smooth and buttery beverage. I was instantly hooked…and was also wondering what took me so long to get this concoction into my life. It was love at first sip, as it totally warmed me up from the inside, out.

When I think of cocktails I often think of my friend, Jessica, from the How Sweet Eats blog. I’m sure you all know Jessica. And I’m sure you all know that she is expecting a baby very soon! What you may not know is that Jessica continued to post cocktail recipes even after she found out she was pregnant just so her internet friends wouldn’t suspect something was up. That’s some serious cocktail dedication!

When I was invited to share a “trashed up” recipe for Jessica’s virtual baby shower, I knew that it had to be a cocktail. And after my first sip of Hot Buttered Rum a few days ago, I knew that my cocktail was going to be a trashed up version of my new favorite drink.

I wouldn’t necessarily say adding pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice to a hot buttered rum cocktail is trashing it up… it may be very much the opposite. It’s more like a natural marriage of fall like flavors with the sole purpose of being together. It’s a very good thing.

I hope you all will join me in wishing Jessica a very happy and simple transition into motherhood. And Jessica, I can’t wait to be texting with you about your baby the way we text about all of those other internet babies we love. You are going to be a great mom, and I’m super excited to meet your little bundle of chubs! Much love to you, friend!

Join me in celebrating Jessica from How Sweet Eats Virtual Baby Shower!

    Did I seriously just scroll down through 40 links to get to a 9 line recipe? Beautiful drink, thoughtfully written, but that doesn’t make me feel like you want me to find what I’m looking for.
