A warm and merry recipe from Jeff Savage of Botanist.
Who needs a fireplace when you have a mug of something warm, rich, sweet and boozy? This rum-based cocktail from Vanmag’s 2022 Bartender of the Year, Jeff Savage of Botanist, brings the holiday spirit with winter spice and seasonal citrus—and it’s a merry alternative to the classic mulled wine or rum-soaked eggnog. Don’t be frightened by the addition of butter: it dates back to the 1600s and it’s the secret weapon for making the coziest cocktail of the season.
45 ml spiced rum 100 ml hot water (plus more for heating mug) 30 g spiced buttered sugar (recipe follows) 1 orange peel 1 dehydrated lemon wheel (optional) Cinnamon stick
200 g butter 400 g demerara sugar Pinch nutmeg Pinch cinnamon Pinch clove
