Hot Buttered Rum Makes 1 Quart
Makes 1 quart rum Batter. Add a bottle of rum for a gift that gives a whole season of warming!

Ingredients

1 pound butter
1 pound brown sugar
1 pound confectioners' sugar
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground nutmeg

To Make the cocktail:

1 orange; quartered
Rimming sugar; half granulated and half brown sugar spread on a plate
4 oz. boiling water
2 oz. rum
2-3 Tbsp. hot buttered rum batter
Whipped cream, add a small bit of rum for a rum flavored one
Garnish with Nutmeg and/or cinnamon stick

Instructions

To Make the Batter:

Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Blend in brown sugar and confectioners' sugar. Remove from heat, and whisk in the ice cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Pour mixture into container(s), seal, and freeze.

To Serve:

Warm the mugs or glasses to be used by filling with hot water; then empty.
Rim the edge of the mug or glass with the cut orange and dip the rim in the combination of white and brown sugars.
Squeeze the juice from a quarter of the orange into the mug.
Fill the mug with the hot water and then add the rum and the batter.
Stir, top with a dollop of whipped cream (optional) and a sprinkle of nutmeg.

The basic mixture may be the same in multiple places; melted butter, sugars and spices are added to softened vanilla ice cream and the mixture is kept frozen allowing for long term use (well, sort of long; knowing it’s there it seems to get used; a lot!).
