Spiced Batter

Add the butter and brown sugar to a medium mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or rubber spatula, mix the butter and brown sugar until it's completely combined.

Add the cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and vanilla. Mix until it's combined.

Use the batter to make hot buttered rums. Or, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate the batter for up to 2 weeks.

Coffee Buttered Rum

Add 1-2 tablespoons of batter to each mug. Then, pour the spiced rum over the batter.

Add the coffee to the batter-rum mixture. Stir well, until the batter is completely melted. Add a splash of half-and-half, if desired.

Finish the cocktail with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Make Batter in Advance ⏰
Prepare the spiced batter the night before and refrigerate it; this allows the spices to fully infuse and deepen in flavor, making your drink taste even more luxurious.
Toast Your Spices Fresh 🌟
Lightly toast whole cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks, and cloves before grinding them into the batter for exponentially brighter, more aromatic spice notes that elevate the entire cocktail.
Brown Your Butter First 🧈
Melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown with a nutty aroma before mixing into your batter; this adds incredible depth and complexity that regular melted butter cannot achieve.
Whip Cream at the Last Second ☁️
Whip your heavy cream to soft peaks just before serving (not earlier), then top each mug immediately to keep it fluffy and prevent it from deflating or becoming grainy.
Use Coffee Just Off Boil 🔥
Brew your coffee and let it cool for exactly 1-2 minutes before pouring over the batter and rum; this prevents the heat from cooking off the rum's alcohol content while still dissolving the batter evenly.
