Ingredients
04
•
For the batter:
•
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
•
2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
•
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more
for sprinkling
•
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice or ground cloves
•
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
•
For the cocktails:
•
2 cups water
•
1 cup dark rum
•
2 cups whipped cream (optional)
•
4 (4-inch) long cinnamon sticks
Place 1 stick unsalted butter in a medium heatproof bowl (or stand mixer
bowl fitted with the paddle attachment) and let sit at room temperature
until softened.
Add 2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon,
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg, 1/4
teaspoon ground allspice or ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt.
Beat with an electric hand mixer on high speed until fluffy and smooth,
about 2 minutes.
Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a kettle or medium saucepan. Let the water
cool slightly so it isn’t actively bubbling, about 30 seconds. Carefully
pour the water into the butter mixture. Add 1 cup dark rum and beat with
the mixer on medium speed until the butter is dissolved and the mixture
is frothy, 1 to 2 minutes.
Divide between 4 mugs. Top with whipped cream if desired. Sprinkle with
more freshly grated nutmeg. Garnish each mug with a cinnamon stick.
