Elusive Burnham cup tracked down, on display



Hot buttered rum

December 28, 2008

Courtesy of Sepia bartender Peter Vestinos, who says, "If you can make cookies, then you can make buttered rum." Make this in a large batch; it will last you the winter.

½ pound butter, softened

1 pound light brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 tablespoon vanilla

Dark rum

Hot water

Make a dough of the butter, sugar, spices and vanilla by creaming them together in a blender. Put in a container and let set overnight in the refrigerator. Dough is enough for about 30 drinks. (If you're having a big party, spread the dough on a baking sheet and chill in the fridge. Then, cut it into single-portion cubes before storing.)

Let the dough come to room temperature. Put 1 tablespoon of the dough in an Irish Coffee mug with 1½ ounces of dark rum and top with hot water.
