Buttered Rum Mach 2

Made some buttered rum.
Needed more butter than I realised.

Is pretty tasty.

Hot buttered rum

Recently arrived home from a 6 week audition trip to the US of A.
Six weeks is a damn long time.
I was fortunate enough to catch up with a few people I knew who plied me with boutique beer and vegetarian chilli and cornbread and salt water taffy and all other kind of American tastiness.
The highlight drinking wise of the trip was the Hot Buttered Rum from Smugglers Cover in San Francisco.
Dear Lord…. I’m not sure i’ve ever had rum before. I’m not sure i’ve ever thought about drinking butter before..
Wow.
This is what I am going to drink in winter I have decided. It was absolutely incredible.
