This is one great, classic hot drink that is an absolute delight around a fall campfire with friends. You can also caramelize your Hot Buttered Rum by building the ingredients as stated in the recipe below and plunge a red-hot* poker into the glass for about a minute.
*Choose a clean, thick rod and let it sit in the fire until it is red hot. Shake off any ashes and be careful not to touch the rod to the bottom of the glass or it will shatter. This is great for camping and the same hot-poker method can be used for caramelizing dark beers.
