  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 oz dark rum (per serving)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
  • Cinnamon stick or grated nutmeg (optional, for garnish)

     Instructions

  1. Make Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.

  2. Assemble Cocktail: Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the butter mixture into a mug. Add 2 oz of dark rum.

  3. Add Hot Water: Pour about 1/2 cup of hot water into the mug and stir until the butter mixture dissolves. Adjust water to taste.

  4. Garnish and Serve: Top with whipped cream if desired. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of grated nutmeg for an extra festive touch. Serve warm.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
