 Welcome back to drinks made easy because cocktails don't have to be difficult. Today we're taking a look at a great cold weather cocktail even though it is 70 degrees here in Los Angeles in January the hot buttered rum Ski a twist on the hot buttered rum Where we're splitting the base of not just having rum, but also whiskey and for this I found a great recipe on liquor.com for a different batter that also integrates vanilla ice cream that just leads to a more complex and enjoyable flavor overall First thing we're gonna do is make the batter which using a quarter of a pound or one stick of butter in this case That it wasn't a stick. I use some nice carry gold and unsalted butters which you're gonna want to use You don't want to make sure that it's either at room temperature or just heat it up a little bit You don't want it to be overly runny, but if it's room temperature, it's going to assist with the blending Next we're going to add a quarter of a teaspoon of nutmeg a Quarter of a teaspoon of ground clove and a quarter of a tablespoon of cinnamon To that we are also going to add half a cup of brown sugar and half a cup of white sugar And then using an electric hand mixer to speed this up. We're gonna combine all those ingredients together Once that's combined. We're going to add one cup of Vanilla ice cream now you technically could add all these ingredients together all at one time and Blend them together, but I find it's a little bit easier if you do it in two steps And once everything is blended together We're gonna put it into the freezer just so that everything can solidify and easy as that you have your batter Now that the batter is made you can go ahead and make your hot butter rumski a quick tip Be sure to pre-heat your glasses when making this cocktail because if it is only kind of like lukewarm It's not nearly as enjoyable. So we're gonna dump our hot water Add one tablespoon of our batter You can always add more if you really like a quite a sweet cocktail next we add one ounce of rum One ounce of bourbon or the whiskey of your choice And we're gonna top that off with hot hot water Give it a good stir to make sure that everything is melting and integrating You're gonna want to leave a little bit of room at the top as that Butterfat and the ice cream are gonna rise just a touch if you don't leave any room. It will spill over Garnish with a little bit of fresh grated nutmeg and easy as that you have the hot butter rumski That is just awesome if you're looking for something a little bit different than a hot toddy That has a little bit more depth of flavor check out these hot buttered rumski's It's also great because you can play around with the rums and whiskies that you use It's just something that you can use and modify all throughout a party or all throughout the cold weather season Try it out and let us know what you think.
