Hot Buttered Rum Mix
This Hot Butter Rum Mix can be made in advance and stored several months in an airtight container. When ready to serve, spoon mixture in cup, add hot water and white rum. Super easy and tasty. Long ago I worked with a guy named Mo and he would give this mix to co-workers for Christmas, along with the recipe. Yummy!
