Hot Pumpkin Spice Buttered Rum

For this day, focus is on the perfect winter drink combination to warm you all over on a br-r-r-r cold winter's night. This spiced rum drink dates back to popularity in the colonial days along with spiced tea and eggnog. It is a mixed drink containing rum, butter, hot water or cider, sweetener and spices (typically cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves). One might wonder why the drink is not called 'battered' rum. The aforementioned ingredients form a batter that is then mixed with rich, dark rum.
