Hot Buttered Rum Recipe

While the hot buttered rum cocktail is a classic, this version from North of Bourbon, in Louisville, Kentucky, utilizes a blender to emulsify the ingredients for an appealing, warming cocktail. As the name implies, this cocktail does indeed have butter in it, and it’s typically easy to spot it on the surface of the drink, a look that can be less than attractive. But this hot buttered rum recipe changes the game with a butter-sugar-ice cream base that emulsifies as you blend. This keeps it from separating when serving, ensuring a creamy, delicately spiced cocktail that will have everyone begging for the recipe.
