Hot Buttered Rum Cow
• 1 tsp Hot Buttered Rum Batter
• 1.5 oz Gold Puerto Rican
• .5 oz Dark Jamaican Rum
• 6 oz. Whole Milk
Preheat mug by filling with warm water. Warm the milk on the stove (microwave if you’re impatient) until hot, but still drinkable. Toss the water in the mug and premix the rum and batter, then fill with milk and stir thoroughly. Serve with grated or grinded nutmeg on top.
Of course you're going to need the recipe for Hot Buttered Rum Batter, which is as follows-
Hot Buttered Rum Batter
1 pound brown sugar
1/4 pound butter (1 stick)
pinch of salt
Ground Spices (Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove)
Cream the sugar and butter together in a standing mixer until smooth. Mix in the spices and salt, and stir until spices are well distributed.
Unfortunately, the author neglected to give the measurements for the spices, but it shouldn't be that hard to gauge, and might even make for another little fun bit of magical ritual adding them to taste. Just bear in mind that a little bit of spices goes a long way.
On the other hand, this might seem all a little bit much. If so, you might prefer to opt for the much simpler and yet quite satisfying recipe, that tried-and-true
HOT BUTTERED RUM

So there you have it. Yes, I know it's Imbolc, and as we are all "children" now in a symbolic sense in attuning with the growing Sun, perhaps some might suggest that we should not indulge in alcohol. Truthfully, they might have a point, but I just can't help myself. I wanna get smashed.
When I get up tomorrow I'll just take the excruciating hangover as a much-needed lesson. What better way than to learn a little self-discipline, eh?
