Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk or cream
  • 2 tablespoons high-quality cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 1–2 tablespoons spiced rum or rum extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Buttered Rum Mixture: In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix until creamy and smooth, creating the rich base that will infuse your hot chocolate with buttery warmth.
  2. Heat the Milk and Cocoa: In a medium saucepan, gently heat milk or cream over medium-low heat. Whisk in cocoa powder slowly, ensuring the mixture is smooth and fully blended without lumps.
  3. Incorporate the Butter Mixture: Once the milk is warm and chocolatey, add the butter and sugar mixture to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the butter melts completely, blending all the flavors seamlessly.
  4. Add Rum and Vanilla: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the spiced rum and vanilla extract. Adjust the amount of rum depending on your preference for a subtle or pronounced kick.
  5. Serve Warm: Pour the Buttered Rum Hot Chocolate into mugs, ready to be garnished and enjoyed immediately while velvety smooth and hot.

Notes

  • Use quality ingredients: The better your cocoa and butter, the richer and smoother the drink will be.
  • Heat milk gently over medium-low heat to avoid scorching and ensure creamy results.
  • Customize sweetness by starting with less sugar and adjusting after tasting.
  • Keep stirring continuously to avoid lumps and combine all flavors evenly.
  • Avoid boiling once alcohol is added to preserve flavor and alcohol content.
