Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature (I recommend a high quality, creamy butter.)
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1.5 teaspoons cardamom
½ teaspoon nutmeg freshly ground is awesome here!
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
pinch of kosher salt
Cruzan® Black Strap Rum or your own favorite black rum
your favorite brewed coffee very hot (I prefer a darker, full-bodied coffee for this recipe)
cream or half & half
freshly whipped and sweetened cream for garnish
cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

In a stand mixer on medium speed, cream together butter, sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, and salt for 3 minutes. Use immediately (while at its soft & fluffy best!) or store in a covered container in the refrigerator. If storing in the refrigerator, know that the spiced butter will harden - simply take it out of the fridge 30 minutes prior to serving.
To create a cup of hot buttered rum coffee, place 2 tablespoons of spiced butter in a medium cup. Pour in 2 ounces of rum (use more or less, to your liking). Then pour in coffee to fill the cup. Stir to incorporate/melt the spiced butter. Add a splash of cream or half & half. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

Hot buttered rum recipe adapted from The Reluctant Entertainer, where Sandy serves the spiced butter in the more traditional way, with hot water instead of coffee.
