Rich and comforting, this Hot Buttered Rum Coffee is festively spiced and perfect for the holidays! This drink is simple to make and will be a hit with friends and family this season.
A tasty blend of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and rum, is whisked into your favorite Harry & David Coffee to create an after-dinner drink that will win over even the biggest grinch. Hot buttered rum coffee is a wonderful way to toast the holiday season. This tasty treat is simple to prepare with just a few prep ahead tricks.
To make this Hot Buttered Rum Coffee, you’ll whip together butter, spices and brown sugar. The butter blend can be made up to a week in advance. But a word of warning…this butter blend is fabulous on toast…or a spoon. So, be sure to hide it from your guests!
Just before serving, add a dollop or two to a coffee mug and top with rum. Fill your mug with your favorite Harry & David coffee—I love the crème brûlée coffee flavor—and whisk the ingredients together, then top with whipped cream. Sprinkle with nutmeg and serve. This is how you savor the holidays!
