Ingredients

  • 2 oz dark rum
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup hot water
  • Pinch of cinnamon


Instructions

  1. Prepare Mug: Place the unsalted butter and brown sugar into a heatproof mug or glass suitable for hot beverages.
  2. Add Rum: Pour 2 ounces of dark rum over the butter and sugar mixture in the mug.
