PURPOSE

This blog is rather unique from other available blogs. Most blogs are focused on specific topics or issues such as politics, food, travel, etc. This blog is not. The focus for this blog is whatever I want to write or discuss on any given day. The things that interest me and will be discussed at times will include politics, sports, (especially college football and basketball) food, entertainment, pop culture, etc. I hope you enjoy reading and commenting on my blog as much as I will writing it.

Drink of the Week-Hot Buttered Rum

Well, it's still winter and it's still cold. One of the great winter cocktails is Hot Buttered Rum. Like most classic and iconic cocktails, there are numerous versions of this drink. The recipe that follows is my favorite version.

INGREDIENTS
2 Ounces Dark Rum
1 Pat Unsalted Butter
1 Tsp. Brown Sugar
1/2 Tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 Tsp. Nutmeg
Pinch Ground Cloves
1 Drop Vanilla Extract
6 Ounces Hot Water

Place all ingredients except the water and rum in a large mug and mix thoroughly until fully combined. Add the hot water and stir. Finally add the rum and stir again. Use dark rum not light because the drink will not look quite right if you use light rum. It will lack that rich dark color.

That's it. Another easy and delicious drink for a cold winters night. Great for cuddling up in front of a fire. Let me know how you like it.
